Here it is:

/s = Location of Windows NT source files.
/unattend = Unattended installation
/udf = Specifies Uniqueness Database File for unattended install
/tempdrive = location of temporary files
/copydir = installs additional directory
/copysource = copies source files to local directory
/cmd = Executes command after GUI mode
/syspart = copies temporary files to specified drive
/b = Allow diskless installation

And your saying that you're planning to install, OR BYPASS SOME USER INTERACTION where at windows 2000 it is very important. I think it is /unattend may....

See the below link for instructions on "unattend" and building an answer file for automated installs

There's also a detailed explanation about answer files and a list of valid parameter values, on the Unattend.doc file in the \Support\Tools\Deploy.cab directory on the Windows 2000 Professional CD.
