What's the command line option to force a nt/2000 install? Isn't it something like -force ntinstall or something like that?

What are you trying to do? Best thing to do is copy the i386 directory to your hard drive boot with a boot disk, goto that i386 and type winnt. It'll install.

I guess I should have been more specific. There are several program installs (games are a big one) that detect WinNT or Win2k is installed. They promptly exit because of this. I know the particular game runs under Win2k, but the install program detects Win2k and promptly exits. I'm pretty sure I've read about a force command line options that can force an install, but I'm not entirely sure.

Customize the txtsetup.xxx (I forgot the extension) in i386 folder. There's a simple discription in the file. But don't forget to copy i386 folder to your HD.
