For information about installing the support tools, see the sreadme.doc in the \support\tools directory of the Windows 2000 CD. The Support Tools Deployment Planning Guide has information about the installation options for Windows 2000.
For development, the server appliance hardware can include a CD drive, keyboard, mouse, and display. This hardware allows the OS to be installed by booting the appliance with the OS in the CD drive, and following the Setup Wizard.
To change one or more of the settings, modify the unattend.txt. Refer to the samples found under \support\tools\deploy.cab.
