▼How to Perform a Custom Installation
Caution – When you specify an operating system to auto-install in the Create a
New Emulated Drive dialog box, the software automatically finds and copies setup
files, boot files, system files,and drivers that are appropriate for that operating
system. The software also launches WindowsSetup when SunPCi software reboots.
Do not perform a custom installation unless you want to use customized installation
scripts.
1. Create a new emulated hard drive and auto-install the DR DOS 7.01 operating
system software.

■Select DR DOS 7.01 (Bootable) as the operating system to auto-install.
■Be sure to make the drive at least 2 Gbytes in size, which can be expanded later if
needed.
■Attach the drive as a C: drive.
■For best performance, create your emulated drives on a local hard disk on your
Sun system or server.

directory at /export/home/winxp, you would access it from the R: drive in
OpenDOS.

starting the installation.
