An answer file consists of section headers, keys, and the values for each key. Most of the section headers are predefined, but some can be user defined. You do not need to specify all the possible keys in an answer file; your installation does not require them. Invalid key values generate errors or can cause incorrect behavior after Setup has completed. The file format is as follows.
Section headers are enclosed with brackets on both ends. The following is an example:
[section_name] |
Sections contain keys and the corresponding values for those keys. The following is an example:
key = "value" |
Some sections have no keys and merely contain a list of values. The following is an example:
[OEMBootFiles] Txtsetup.oem |
NOTEKeys are typically indented four spaces to enhance the readability of the file. Indentation, however, is not required.
Comment lines start with a semicolon and typically precede the key they reference.
; This is an example of a comment line. |
