I am automating a image desktop install for my company and would like to
fdisk and format the c: drive inside dos (boot disk running dos 6.22) in
fat 16.

my question is there any command line switchs to do this automactically???

or is the a way to drop a image of the basic install before the gui mode
via command line with norton ghost???


Thanks in Advance,
Don Dennis

Not sure. The way I do it succesfully is:
Make a bootable diskette and copy these 2 files to it:

AUTO.TXT:
y
win95

AUTOEXEC.BAT
format c: /u < auto.txt

Best regards, Jan

my suggestion would be to use ghost. it's alot faster than anything that
I've seen and it works great for doing over the wire installs.

Power Quest makes a good program for this as well, works with NT server,
Workstation just about anything. And no I don't work for them but I've use
it
and ghost and like it better.
