Question 1: Typing winnt /? gives me the meaning of
various command options for winnt (found under folder I386
in the installation disk).
It says /r is for creating an "optional folder". What is
an "optional folder"?

Qustion 2: Setup disks
I heard about setup floppies but I do not have any. The
colleague who left the company did not pass that to me. Is
it designed for installation, like those for WinNT4? But I
know I can run the command "Winnt /t:x" (from dos prompt)
to install Windows 2000. When do we need the floppies?

Much thanks for helping.
