The windows NT4/2000/XP installer support both DOS and text/NT based OS to work. dosemu provides a compatible DOS OS, enough to launch Windows setup. nt5x-install is a quirck to create a text/NT bootable OS on the hard drive. As such, it's working fine and greatly speed up the installation process, but it remains a (wonderful) hack. dosemu could be removed from Unattended, but people may feel less confident in nt5x-install than dosemu method as bootable OS ... In the other hand, in case of trouble with nt5x-install, dosemu provides an alternate bootable solution, at least to check if problem comes from nt5x-install or not.
