Hello,

when i was looking for a system to setup the computers at the school of my son in a cheap and easy way, i found your project. I was very lucky, because it solves my problems, even if i do only know a little of Linux and nothing of Perl (sorry, but i�m supporting a lot of Windows Systems)

But after a while i realized that i have to find a way to tell the system , which drivers to use. I know the $oem$\$1 mechanism, but i don�t like it, because it would copy tons of files, which i don�t need in the case of having a lot of different drivers.

I looked in your config.pl and only found a FIXME note.
I think, i have fixed it.

The idea is to have machine-classes,which al need the same set of drivers and 
copy these drivers into c/drv
Below you can see what i have changed. May be it could be done better, but it 
works.

I used an easier way :)

It doesn't really matter if I copy 2 megs of drivers or 25 or 50, even if I'm gonna use only 2 megs of them, unless I remove all of it right after the driver was installed.

So I just keep all drivers for all machines in $oem$\$1\Drivers\... - they are copied to a workstation, and removed from a workstation after the install is done (it's in install.bat):

rd C:\DRIVERS\ /s /q

and that's it, no hassle of figuring out which set of machines have which set of drivers! :)


Next problem is how to tell the system, that i don�t have an NTP-Server, without getting the Question.

just put this line into your unattend.txt file:

    ntp_servers = ""
