Chapter 5. Using Netfinity Manager
55
For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager
Services for OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the
created directory.
To create a source directory for a Netfinity Manager installation:
1. Create a new directory on your system. This new directory will serve as a source
directory for the program files.
Important:
Be sure to copy the Client Services for Netfinity Manager source files before the
copying the Netfinity Manager source files because the Netfinity Manager
directory contains some files that will overwrite files from the Client Services for
Netfinity Manager directory. Only Netfinity Manager installations can be done
from this directory.
2. Copy the files from the appropriate Client Services for Netfinity Manager
directories.
For example, when creating a source directory to distribute Netfinity Manager for
OS/2, copy all of the files from the OS2/SERVICES directory into the source
directory.
3. Copy the files from the appropriate Netfinity Manager directory.
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.
