Make a index/reference file of the archive and parse that?
There was some talk about making such a index on the driverpacks forum a while 
back for inclusion in the "distribution" But I dont think it ever was made. 
Probably because there was no clear use for it.

So, Im thinking: 
  Check for index-file 
  If its not there (or outdated) -- create it and save to c:\netinst

The administrator can then later move the new index-file to the archive.

This will give near instant driver installation (well, for the next computer).
Even the more traditional drivers in $oem$\xx take quite a log time to copy 
over when the installed computer-base has grown for a while.

makes sense to me :-)

We also have dmidecode in the linux-boot and its output can be used to 
override the "auto-driverpacks-install" if needed or desired.
