The following are optional parameters you can give to Windows NT Setup (WINNT):

Where:

/S[:]sourcepath Specifies the source location of Windows NT files. 

                Must be a full path, including drive letter and
                directory path. Can use universal naming convention
                (UNC) style server paths: \\server\share\... . The
                default source location is the current directory.
/T[:]tempdrive Specifies the drive to use for temporary setup files. 
                Setup will search for a drive if none is specified.

                file. The default is DOSNET.INF.

/X              Do not create the Setup boot floppy.

/F              Do not verify files as they are copied to the Setup
                boot floppy.

/C            Skip free-space check on the Setup boot floppy you
                provide.
