Hello Shoba, In the Unattended distribution, which you can download as an "unattended.tar.gz" file, you will find a folder called "install". You have to copy this folder somewhere on a server. This is the folder that will contain the installation files for your OS, so you will need to share it for the Unattended program to be able to find them through the network. When you boot the computer you want to setup using the Unattended floppy or CD-Rom, it will connect to the network and get the installation files from this shared folder. I hope this helps understanding (sorry if my English is a bit poor).
