rs_init in interactive mode is easier to use than a resource file. The interactive mode provides command keys and menu prompts to help you make selections and move between screens. rs_init rejects invalid entries and displays warnings or error messages when you make improper selections. If you make a mistake, you can change your entry and continue with the installation session.
Table 2-1 lists the command keys you can use in interactive mode. Press Return to confirm an item you have entered.

You can copy information from this generated file into one of the resource file templates. See Appendix B, “Using rs_init with Resource Files.” |
