Requirements

  1. ReactOS Build Environment

Steps

  1. Start ReactOS Build Environment
  2. On the prompt navigate into a folder that you want to hold the ReactOS source files e.g: C:\react
  3. Get a working copy of the ReactOS source code
  4. Edit boot/bootdata/bootcd/unattend.inf to suit your needs, make sure to set UnattendSetupEnabled = yes
  5. Optional: want Gecko? Place the setup at modules/optional/wine_gecko-2.40-x86.msi, in case you don't want Gecko place a file with 0kb with the same name to skip the question in second stage
  6. in RosBE run configure -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG -DNEW_STYLE_BUILD=1
  7. run cd output-MinGW-i386/reactos
  8. run ninja bootcd
  9. The resulting bootcd.iso can be mounted or burned to CD

You can keep a clean tree by ignoring changes to unattend.inf using git update-index --assume-unchanged boot/bootdata/bootcd/unattend.inf
