Stopping Setup Before GUI Mode Begins

If OEMPreinstall = Yes, the Setup program stops at the end of text mode by default, rather than continuing into GUI mode. This gives you the ability to duplicate disks with the operating system and applications pre-installed. The first time a computer is started with the duplicated disk in place, the system boots into GUI mode. The user can then be prompted for information such as username, computername, and the Workgroup or Domain that the computer is to join.

You can specify whether Setup continues into GUI mode at the end of text mode by adding the following line to the [Unattended] section:


NoWaitAfterTextMode = 0 | 1

Where:

0

specifies that Setup should stop at the end of text mode.

1

specifies that Setup should automatically reboot into GUI mode at the end of text mode.
