I take it that you ran the executable and placed the extracted files in \i386\$OEM$\$1\D. The .cat, .inf and .sys are under the WinXP folder. Just cancel the installer application. > My question is: How do I modify the setup configuration scripts to get > the NIC driver installed as early as possible, ie before the attempt to > mount \\ntinstall\install after the first logon to XP?

You need to place the .inf files in \i386\$OEM$\$$\INF, and all the files in i386\$OEM$\$1\D\IntelINF. Check out the readme that gets extracted.
