I've used config.pl to query a postgresql db for all settings (drivers, txt drivers, random administrator password, all individual scripts so I have no master scripts). All I need to do is enter the machine on a webpage, select which drivers ect to use and go to the machine and press f12 at the bios. The database design is a bit more complicated then the cvs files, but it is a lot more flexible. A thing I would like to see was NTFS write support, so I could mess with files on a drive. I have the "document and settings" on the D: drive, and use command.txt to check to see if "Document and Settings" exit on D: , if it does I move it to "Document and Setting.old". Then I move the "document and Setting" from the C drive to the D drive and mess with the registry to get it to behave. If we had NTFS write support, I could just move the files before the install started and use the "Profiles" setting in unattend.txt, which would make it a lot easier.
