The un-attended file should be placed on a diskette and called winnt.sif, so when the install starts from a cd it will automatically look to see if there is a sif file in diskette drive. I hope this what you wanted if not, tell us what part is un-clear.

With RIS, the server will create an OS source and default .SIF for you when you install RIS, under setup\english\images\[imagename]\i386\templates\

Using that .SIF as a template you can create additional answer files (also with a .SIF extension) in the same folder and they'll be available as menu choices from the client.
