Wow I Love the Troll Bar!

You have outdone yourself! Most impressive!!!!

those should be removed or placed in a subfolder on all "final" releases wink

Woo Hoo! Welcome back unseen!

Please help yourself to the Alpha. I can't wait to get some more feedback.
I am kind of stalled ATM, not being a sysprep guy myself wink I need your kind of feedback to know where to go with the code next.

Thanks so much for your time now and in the past, I can't wait for your input and the experience you have to offer the team!

Jeff

please note the testing team forum is now visible to you!
Have a great day and thanks again for your offer to once again make DriverPacks better for everyone.

Welcome to the Testing team!

(ps I thought skinlayers was going to have some fuel for me too...? RU out there sir?)

Welcome to DriverPacks goneoffthedeepend, Glad you're here!

Comedy is not our mainstay, but when such a huge amount of raw material just falls into your lap... wink

Apparently Wim passed through here too,
his only comment noted that my 32,000 number was way off...
It seems that the statistic I quoted was from months ago, now we are up to:
- Last Day   Total    Hits:   124,440
- Last Week Total   Hits: 1,081,403
- Last Week Data Trans:  1.86 TB 

Our Host - Simple CDN - Donates our Unlimited bandwith for free.
We have absolutely Flawless Conectivity and Incredible Speed.
They automaticaly take care of mirroring and load distribution so
we can devote all of our time to concentrating on new versions of the DriverPacks and BASE
If you need file hosting Please look no further,
It doesn't get any better than Simple CDN!
 
so we have four times as much usage as I thought wink
I sincerely apologize to everyone for my mistake tongue big_smile

We don't support warez... IE we are not going to go through files you pirated off the net...
swapping out the ntldr is also license bending.. and we don't support that either.

Do your own work Use Legitimate Copies start with a clean source and read up on what is here.
What you seek it explained in great detail by several excellent members. But no one here will help you with pirated goods... period.

Not a good first impression when you ask for help with stolen software hmm

I am curious what you would use that for too...

We don't use or maintain txtsetup.oem

your best option is to download the drivers you need (the F6 drivers)

Bartpe / UBCD4Win with something like driverinjector plugin or offline sysprep plugin on your USB stic would be easier wink  UBCD4Win has pasword tools included too. wink

yes you manually added the driver... good job!

can you tell us what OS you were installing, the HWID, and which driver that worked for you?

Awsome work m8!

You are the master... I tip my hat sir!

I am so glad you stopped by... We are amused!

We don't usually have a need for censoring.
The very few words that are listed were added out of necessity on an as needed basis,
rather than someone attempting create a list proactively in anticipation of vulgarity.

Sometimes expletives do have an appropriate place wink
I requested that a UserBar should be made just for you... big_smile

Yeah that one is reserved for Gollum...
I have attempted to recruit a world class troll exterminator. big_smile
I belive he will be enjoying himself with falcon very soon wink
I can be harsh if need arises, but I lack Gollums eloquence.
He is a specialist, perhaps even an artist. definately needs his own userbar! wink

Cheers M8!, let me know if you need anything!

did you remove (move to a safe location / backup) the UBCD4Win322\drivers\Net folder before building?

if you did not then there would be a huge number of duplicates and possably resulting in a failure to boot wink

Moved to correct forum

you should probably try a test run first... and make sure that that there are actualy drivers that are needed.
You may find DriverPacks already includes everything you need wink

If not (and spectrometers does sound unusual) then it is quite easy to make a pack as Helmi indicated already. big_smile
and don't forget you have the entire team to support you with your pack too!

I am quite certain the only head up your ass is your boyfriends...

an experienced tech would know exactly what this means...
Or even someone (a noob even) who had bothered to take ten seconds to read the news on our home page.
now that I reflect a little... perhaps I have insulted noobs everywhere by including the likes of you in their group.
At least a noob has the good sense to realize they don't know all the answers. I am recatagorizing you as an idiot.

If you were not such a PE noob it would not have taken you so long to fight this issue.
Anyone who has any experience with UBCD4Win at all knows PE uses VESA support for graphics drivers.
- I suspect you are young and unfamiliar with VESA (and manners).

Oh! Oh! Here it goes again! I'm the noob! Yeah, that's it, I'm the noob. Can't come up with a better insult than "noob"? Even if it's not even true? How's about this for noob... you saying PE only uses VESA support (and yes you dolt, I know full well what VESA/VBE is). It works just like Windows. You give it a video driver after it's loaded VgaSave, and it'll run the video using that driver the next time you change resolutions. Same thing happened when I loaded the Graphics pack onto a PE disc and started it up. It started with the crap VgaSave driver, but when I went to the display control panel and changed resolutions, it started up the appropriate driver that was already loaded but not initialized. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you didn't know that either.

You are so ignorant there is just not a scale to measure it...
windows came out in the 90's VESA came out in the late 80's.
VESA Predates windows you ignoramus. You don't know a tenth of what you think you do.

Just because DriverPacks BASE will do something does not mean you should do it...
You went off on a tangent trying to fix something that does not need to be fixed.

Uh, combining nVidia, ATI, Intel, SiS, and VIA drivers is something that does need to be looked at. IMO, DriverPacks A could be the dedicated graphics (ATI, nVidia) that get updated a lot, B could be the integrated GPU drivers (Intel, SiS, VIA), and C could be the "exotic" drivers like business class ATI/nVidia, and the old cards. Is that too obscure to ask? No, it's not... and it's something that should be done.

Yes it is obscure...
most updated in A,
most common in B, Business use is our biggest audience, bar none.
least likely to change in C.

You have made no argument that sways anyones opinion to change the basic layout.
- I will give you some credit here, moving Intel to DriverPack Graphics A or B has some merit, and will be considered. big_smile

OverFlow wrote:

The bottom line is the only card manufacturer who does not support the VESA standard is Intel.
The ONLY video card drivers you need to complete your UBCD4Win build are Intel... the others are optional.

Which is why I'm here. The "ONLY" graphics driver I need is intel, yet your little DriverPacks BASE forces me to install ALL THE DRIVERS from the Graphics B set in order to get them. Similarly, the only drivers I need from C are SiS and VIA, yet I would otherwise have had to install TONS OF OTHER GARBAGE on my already packed disc. I just went ahead and burned the disc without any support. On a related note, if I did install the Intel drivers on my PE disc, they wouldn't be of any use anyway, because the VBE drivers are loaded by Windows and start up first... I'd end up having to make that extra trip to the Display Control Panel to set the resolution and initialize the driver anyway. There are so many flaws with this statement I could go on for pages.

Strange don't you think that you were totaly unaware of the fact that intel are the only drivers you need and you never even mentioned it until I told you about it. Then you contradict yourself saying you also need SIS and VIA, which you do not. No one FORCED you to do anything - your results are the fruits of your labor, or lack thereof. I equate what you have done to borrowing a hammer and saw to build a birdhouse and then blaming the guy you borrowed the tools from because your bird house looks like sh*t. He didn't build it he just supplied the tools. It's entirely your fault you don't know how to use the tools that you got for free wink RTFM buddie!

Its a free world man, go ahead and write yourself a program for that wink have fun!

Clearly the answer to number five is no... is that also our fault

Uh, you haven't even tried what I said, then. That's your fault for not even trying.

I looked again at your first post...
There is nothing at all (not one word) useful to help me reproduce your issue anywhere in that post wink.

PS I assume (since you don't seem to be big on research and finding things on your own) that you did not know that you need to remove the \drivers\Net folder from your UBCD4Win folder if you add LAN and WLAN with DriverPacks BASE.

Uh, I didn't install WLAN. Also, if I have to remove \drivers\net from the folder, then why the h*ll doesn't DriverPacks BASE take care of that for me instead of leaving me in the dark about it - or even providing any useful information at all to hint at it? Seems like a rather ridiculous arbitrary request to delete a folder, don't 'ya think?

You are not very bright are you.
I never said you did install WLAN... the advise does also apply to WLAN though...
You would assume that UBCD4Win is the only build of BartPE available?
Or am I to attempt to program for every single variation/distribution of BartPE out there? (dumb ass)
Your UBCD4Win came preconfigured correctly with only mass enabled.
YOU changed it and You failed to investigate what was required to make the changes YOU chose. Your fault entirely.
Had you used UBCD4Win "Out of the Box" without customizing it you would have succeded on your first try big_smile
You were not left in the dark, the info is clearly posted at UBCD4Win. You just failed looking for it if you even bothered to look at all. the request is neither arbitrary nor ridiculous.  It is a well known fact to experienced users, a group you are blatantly not a member of.

PSS No control panels in UBCD4win...
You can't run an installer on a ROM and is why the finisher and related control panels are disabled, they won't run successfuly.
Please remember BartPE is a sideline here, our main user base is Unattended installations. the files you thought were unneccessary are quite neccessary for a normal install. They are not copied to your plugin either. (Oh and while I am thinking about it, just because two files have the same name does not mean they are identical...)

Yeah, given that I wasn't even presented with the option, I was looking for a way to ensure they were not included.

I tried to make it so even an idiot could use it... but unfortunately you show up and we have discovered "The better idiot".
(If you make something idiot proof, then they will invent a better idiot. Author unknown)

I am a programmer I assume nothing. You work for free as an intern that equals noob.
If you were experienced you would have a pay for position somewhere and no time or desire to intern for free.
I will reiterate the attitude problem is entirely yours, and yours alone.

PS I think this quite mild compared to what the team has tried repeatedly to warn you about wink
Care to try again... I will see if i can let the 'true me' shine through next time big_smile

Well I recieved news that the troll patrol is inbound.
I have had a good day of rest so I am in a good mood for it too.
( I don't like to rip peoples heads off when I am in a bad mood, I get too carried away. smile )

I am removing the twits ban early... in anticipation.

Let the games begin!

We are so glad to be of service to you! Thanks so much for your feedback!
I don't think any of us doubted that there were legitimate uses. ( that is why I added them wink )

This OP is not in that category big_smile

I was updating chipset page and made a mistake, it's fixed now!
(it was only broke for like 5 min LOL)
Thanks for reporting!

the DPInst tool is the best option for post install update of drivers.
(MS calls this a 'Software First' install.)
The best option has always been, and continues to be, integrating drivers into the installation media.
This is a result of the WHQL signing of the included drivers.
A replacement must be newer and WHQL signed or it will not bump an included driver. wink
If you look at your api and dpinst logs there will be clues as to why drivers were passed over wink

Yeah, a truely awesome contribution to the team!

I am going to award you testing team access too...
I do not have much to offer in the way of rewards but I will give you what I can!    Stickied too!

We could host them... is there any constraints on image shack that would prevent us from leaving them there?

According to him he wants a recovery CD for a shop he is interning at...
So the answer is: He does not need them at all... and he is too stupid and arrogant to realize or admit it wink

Helmi called the ball on this one...
I have never even seen him post anything that was 'not nice' before... 

He really did have this guys number right out of the chute...
Probably best for everyone that I had a long day and was tired wink LOL

Dude I have been in the Computer field since 1968.
Everyone is a noob to me, you however have redefined noob... ... and now your banned.
Normaly i would take the time to banter with you but i am not in the mood ATM.


you were warned. 7 day Hiatus awarded to the twit.

Just curious what incorrect info I rambled...
we get a million DL's a month lets apply your math
1 in a hundred thousand report an issue we get around three hundred thousand DL's a week.
So three people a week should be reporting your issue... yet there is only yours.

you are the one who said that you were working for nothing as an intern...
Why would you be offended if we assume that if your time is not worth paying for that you are a noob...

Note to Mods: if Gollum posts here, go ahead and lift the twits ban... wink
