Also remember, from the adding drivers part of the step-by-step guide:
*Note*: The total absolute length of any file name, including the
leading |\os\...\$oem$| portion, must not exceed 64 characters or
winnt.exe will get an error when it tries to copy the file.
So if you'd have
\\server\something\unattended\install\os\xpsp2\I386\$oem$\$1\DELL\network...already
far too long and copying the drivers would fail.

I created a directory like $oem$/$1/DELL/rxxxxxx, where rxxxxxx is the
DELL file number for the drivers. When I edit the unattended.txt, at
the point Unattended allows manual edits of the unattended.txt,
doit.bat, and postinst.bat, the appropriate paths are listed in the
OemPnPDriversPath entry.

I am trying to get Unattended to install the network drivers for a
new DELL M70 laptop during the initial setup and seem to be failing
miserably.
I have created the $oem$/$1 directory under the i386 and placed the
drivers in it. The Linux boot for Unattended finds the drivers and
asks which drivers I would like to install. However, it appears
that the setup routine is not copying the drivers as they should and
thus, the workstation can not re-attach to the network, after the OS
install completes, to continue with the installation procedure due
to lack of network drivers.
When I look at the system drive after the install "completes", I do
not find the expected driver directories.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I might be doing wrong?
did you create the directories like:
$oem$/$1/network_card
$oem$/$1/sound_card
$oem$/$1/some_other_card
and added these all directories to unattend.txt (so that Windows
knows about them)?
