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.
