lol The post was a touch cross posted, but I wasn't sure which group would
be best.
The error I've been getting is that right after I start the setup (while
it's still text mode), it says that the image I've chosen does not support
my network adapter, and so setup cannot continue.
Your post triggered an idea, which worked rather well. I fixed the problem
by putting the driver files in both imagebase\$oem$\etc and imagebase. This
wasn't mentioned in KB315279, which is very annoying, as that seems to be
all that was needed. If you have any contacts as an MVP, you might want to
mention that omission...
Do you know for the other drivers, do I also need to copy all the driver
files to both the $oem$ structure and the image base?
Thanks!
Erick
