Hello Use the http feature of packer, put all the files in a directory, and let packer to serve from there.
"http_directory": "http", then say you have http/dotnet.msi that will be available on: http://{{ .HTTPIP }}:{{ .HTTPPort }}/dotnet.msi If you use powershell, the variables should be available to your script environment. Other option is, I think the floppy should be able to manage large files, did you tried it? Other option is crate a custom iso that include all the files you need.
