For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/MANAGER directory into the source directory. After an installation source directory has been created, use a response file and the Netfinity Manager installation program command-line parameters. The Netfinity Manager installation program supports the following command-line parameters: /R: drive+path+filename Specifies the drive, path, and file name of the response file. See the NETFBASE.RSP file (located in the directory in which Netfinity Manager was installed) for an example of a response file with comments on the included parameters. /S: drive+path Specifies the drive and path to install from. This is the directory to which the files were copied. /T: drive Specifies the drive to install to. Default is the current startup drive. /TU: drive+path Specifies the drive and path of the CONFIG.SYS file to update. The default is to change the CONFIG.SYS in the root directory of the drive specified in the /T parameter (or the startup drive). This parameter is ignored if the ChangeConfig parameter in the response file is FALSE. For example, the line: NETFINST /R:NETFBASE.RSP /S:Y:\NETFIN/T:C /TU:D:\ will install Netfinity Manager, using the options in the response file NETFBASE.RSP, from the directory Y:\NETFIN, to drive C: (the directory to which the files are installed is taken from the response file), and will modify the CONFIG.SYS file in the D:\ directory. Note: For information on how to use a CID-enabled software distribution manager, refer to the publications provided with the individual CID-enabled product. Customized installation For security reasons, not all users might need to have access to all services. User access can be restricted by creating a customized installation that will prevent some services from being installed. To create a customized installation, the INSTALL.INI file must be edited. For example, when creating a customized Netfinity Manager for Windows 95 or NT installation, edit the INSTALL.INI file that is found on Netfinity Manager directory. The INSTALL.INI file has three sections, separated by the line [==] The first section contains the installation configuration that can be selected during installation. There can be no more than eight choices. Each choice takes up two lines. The first line is the text that is displayed next to the installation configuration radio button. The second line is a list of the options in the third section that will be installed when this choice is selected for installation. Netfinity Manager 115

For
example,
when
creating
a
source
directory
to
distribute
Netfinity
Manager
for
OS/2,
copy
all
of
the
files
from
the
OS2/MANAGER
directory
into
the
source
directory.
After
an
installation
source
directory
has
been
created,
use
a
response
file
and
the
Netfinity
Manager
installation
program
command-line
parameters.
The
Netfinity
Manager
installation
program
supports
the
following
command-line
parameters:
/R:
drive+path+filename
Specifies
the
drive,
path,
and
file
name
of
the
response
file.
See
the
NETFBASE.RSP
file
(located
in
the
directory
in
which
Netfinity
Manager
was
installed)
for
an
example
of
a
response
file
with
comments
on
the
included
parameters.
/S:
drive+path
Specifies
the
drive
and
path
to
install
from
.
This
is
the
directory
to
which
the
files
were
copied.
/T:
drive
Specifies
the
drive
to
install
to
.
Default
is
the
current
startup
drive.
/TU:
drive+path
Specifies
the
drive
and
path
of
the
CONFIG.SYS
file
to
update.
The
default
is
to
change
the
CONFIG.SYS
in
the
root
directory
of
the
drive
specified
in
the
/T
parameter
(or
the
startup
drive).
This
parameter
is
ignored
if
the
ChangeConfig
parameter
in
the
response
file
is
FALSE.
For
example,
the
line:
NETFINST
/R:NETFBASE.RSP
/S:Y:\NETFIN/T:C
/TU:D:\
will
install
Netfinity
Manager,
using
the
options
in
the
response
file
NETFBASE.RSP,
from
the
directory
Y:\NETFIN,
to
drive
C:
(the
directory
to
which
the
files
are
installed
is
taken
from
the
response
file),
and
will
modify
the
CONFIG.SYS
file
in
the
D:\
directory.
Note:
For
information
on
how
to
use
a
CID-enabled
software
distribution
manager,
refer
to
the
publications
provided
with
the
individual
CID-enabled
product.
Customized
installation
For
security
reasons,
not
all
users
might
need
to
have
access
to
all
services.
User
access
can
be
restricted
by
creating
a
customized
installation
that
will
prevent
some
services
from
being
installed.
To
create
a
customized
installation,
the
INSTALL.INI
file
must
be
edited.
For
example,
when
creating
a
customized
Netfinity
Manager
for
Windows
95
or
NT
installation,
edit
the
INSTALL.INI
file
that
is
found
on
Netfinity
Manager
directory.
The
INSTALL.INI
file
has
three
sections,
separated
by
the
line
[==]
The
first
section
contains
the
installation
configuration
that
can
be
selected
during
installation.
There
can
be
no
more
than
eight
choices.
Each
choice
takes
up
two
lines.
The
first
line
is
the
text
that
is
displayed
next
to
the
installation
configuration
radio
button.
The
second
line
is
a
list
of
the
options
in
the
third
section
that
will
be
installed
when
this
choice
is
selected
for
installation.
