Confusion-winnt.sif vs unattended.txt

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm a bit confused.

I want to use nlite to create my remote install source for xp.

I don't want to burn it to a cd.

So, does nlite create a winnt.sif file that I can rename to unattended.txt?

If so, where is the file placed.

Also, does following through with all of the component choices in nlite basically complete all the entries I need for my unattended.txt file?

Thanks for any help,

Jeremy

I've been facing the same confusion since guides from MS always refer to unattended.txt. ;)

The winnt.sif nlite creates is enough on its own. You don't need to rename it or do anything else. :)

If you need an unattended.txt, then you should do it yourself. nLite is far from offering all the available options in this file.

Ophiel-I have used the program to pack an xpsp2 cd. I just couldn't find the winnt.sif file. I guess I should have made that more clear.

Tux - thanks for the info. I will find the winnt.sif file and use it as the basis for my unattended.txt file.
