Hmmm. Since we use dosemu to run the installer, which copies the files, this means I either play games with symlinks to minimize the number of directories I have the same OS on. . . (and I don't even know how dosemu will handle symlinks, but I don't want multiple 600 meg directories for each hardware device I install. On the other hand, there are a LOT of files that would need symlinking. . . I think personally what I'd like to see is something like: /osdir/i386/$oem$/textmode/driver_dir/driver_files_include_textmode.oem Where you could have multiple driver directories. Unattended would then look for these directories (with proper txtmode.eom files) and ask which one you want to use. Here's the part that I haven't figure out how unattended works, yet. We could either copy the bits to the hard drive, and put them in the right place, but I believe the installer is actually copying the bits off the hard drive. Maybe a symlink to /tmp at that point might work. . . I dunno. I'll play around with this some. . .
