Ok...I\'ve extensively read and reread tech-help page about txtsetup.oem, winnt.sif, and unattended.txt files.
But all of them assume, atleast I think they assume, that you have some sort of foreknowledge.
A member of icronticforums.com was trying to slipstream his HPT372 drivers into a win2k install this afternoon, and that set me on a search of how to slipstream goodies into the install to shorten install time.
I have some questions for you fine folks about how to do it, so I can go back and teach my people at icrontic how to do it!
I copied the contents of my retail Windows 2000 Pro disc to HDD. I then got far enough to slipstream windows 2000 sp3 into the install by using the -x switch on the svcpack, and then using the -s switch on update.exe to combine the contents of the disc and the service pack.
Also, from my readings, I\'ve come to understand that the $OEM$ directory must be in the root of the disc. And that the $OEM$ directory needs a $1.
However, I am COMPLETELY lost on what to do past that.
I have some things I\'d like to slipstream:
A hercules Gametheater XP driver .EXE file: GTXPv5011.exe
Directx 8.1 .EXE file: DX81NTeng.exe
Via Hyperion version 4.45 .EXE file: 4in1445.exe
ATI Radeon 9700 pro catalyst 3.0 .EXE file: w2k9700.exe
Linksys LNE100TX network card: .cat/.inf package with multiOS support
Hitachi CM823F Monitor: .cat/.inf package with multimonitor support
How would I structure my files accordingly to compensate for that?
I\'m completely lost on where to put all the files, and how to make the text files for unattended installs, and even where to put those.
Any help would be wonderful.
