			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>The DriverPacks Finisher is used for the main DriverPacks... if you are not useing any then it is optional... Sound, Video / graphics, LAN and other main packs require it... also if you do not run DriverPacks Finisher the driverpacks are not removed and the DriverPacks related files are not cleaned up.</p><p>If you are only adding Mass storage textmode (the F6 drivers) then that line is not added... <br />If that line is added by DriverPacks BASE then it is needed, if it weren&#039;t needed it would not have been added.</p><p>DriverPacks Finisher has nothing to do with licensing, it is a DriverPacks file that &quot;finishes&quot; installing your drivers and cleans up after the install.</p><p>Since you are not redistributing the DriverPacks and DriverPacks BASE (think &#039;mirror&#039; of our downloads) you are not &quot;redistributing&quot; our software <img src="http://forum.driverpacks.net/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" />.</p><p>HOWEVER...</p><p>Since it is VERY illegal to redistrubute Windows Operating Systems (Per the Microsoft EULA) <br />I am CERTAIN that you would not even consider, let alone ask us questions about, redistributing a slipstreamed set of drivers with an OS.<br />That is absolutely a licence violation, Microsofts not ours.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi,<br />I have some good contacts opportunities, and I am not the only MVP using DriverPacks.<br />I got here because a fellow MVP led me here. I sorta hung around and started to help.<br />There are approx 4000 active MVP awardees in the world nowadays. Most of them I never have touched base with. The fields we post in and are interested in is so varied I easily lose track.<br />Do not think I am the only cruizer.<br />I cruized and googled for a solution to a problem and got here on a recommendation by a fellow MVP, and then started spend time here.<br />Spending large amounts of time on it is the only difference between the mvp I know to have used and recommended DriverPacks and I.</p><p>Don&#039;t think too much of the title I carry.<br />Think of it as a title which gives a person the abilty to test in MSDN provided OS environments, and with contacts he doesn&#039;t want to lose.<br />I won&#039;t risk any production machine to test experimental work (software betas) and DriverPacks testpacks.<br />I build machines and dedicate them, long term, for DriverPacks testing. I sometimes buy &quot;CRAPOLA&quot; hardware for that.<br />Hehe, the worst combo motherboard you can think of (after serious reports to investigate on..) is the best.<br />Failure is the way to succes. (I found nice shirts with that slogan.)</p><p>It is one of the reasons my battle cry became &quot;help us help you.&quot;<br />Nobody figured Bâshrat the Sneaky could pull this when he took the task.<br />Nobody figured we doubled the amount of supported drivers after that.<br />But, we did, with a lot less conflicts.<br />MVP are like that.. We help you help the users. We build community.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>It&#039;s a good question... I had the same one when I got here.</p><p>These systemfiles <em>are provided by the manufacturers</em> and they are untouched and usually the latest version, and unless we have been forced to remove a HWID from an inf to prevent conflicts between generic drivers we don&#039;t change a thing.&nbsp; <br />We avoid this like the plague because maintaining driversigning is our highest priority. Obviously.<br />Driversigning is THE key to success and is usually lost with even the smallest changes.</p><br /><p>We don&#039;t cause them support issues, they ignore us. They <em>all</em> know we are here...<br />I wish they didn&#039;t ignore us, then we could make the packs perfect. <img src="http://forum.driverpacks.net/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /><br />In fact we provide an alternate support avenue for issues and provide feedback from a large technically savvy audience.<br />We may even free up a small percentage of their resources. <br />Don&#039;t let the small size of the forum fool you. The best of the best frequent these pages including OEMs (anonymously).<br />A very small percentage of our users actually post. (If it is not less than 1%, then I am sure it is a single digit number) <br />Since the system works so well and is so simple to use there is no need for lots of posts...</p><p>The redistribute denial is reference our DriverPacks BASE app and DriverPacks, and not for the reason you might conclude as we are open source and free to all.<br />We believe it is important to see the change-logs.<br />Having to come here to get them ensures they know where they can get help. <br />It is too difficult to make people aware of things otherwise. IE it is to their benefit not ours.</p><p>Have a great day.</p><p>Do you have a need to redistribute them?</p>]]></content>
