METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPERATING SYSTEM PERSONALIZATION DURING INSTALLATION

摘要

A method and apparatus for providing personalization parameters to allow an operating system to install itself on a computer system with the provided personalization parameters. A first operating system parameter file (64) is used by the operating system to configure itself. A personalization parameter is provided and read by an operating system installation process (68) which is initiated in the computer system. The operating system installation process then displays a graphical user interface (49) from which a user selects personalization parameters with which the operating system is to configure itself. An editing module is executed to edit the operating system configuration file to include at least a portion of the selected personalization parameters so that the operating system is configured with the personalization parameters when it installs itself.
