did the following, have not tested yet, will do in the future,

however my question is, when a new release (driverpacks comes out)
i assume running a new slipstream will break the above again,

what is the process of updating the above folder (source files)

could i just drag the driverpack file (the updated one's in question) over to the source file and delete the other one (old driverpack file),

or is it a little more complex then that,

because as much as i apreciate the above help, doing these steps everytime could open a window for errors to sneak in,

one last question,

on my windows, i use

RyanVM
NLite
then driverpack slip method 2 gui run once,

now you mentioned "add gui run once section from winnt.sif to your \\server\winxp\i386\$oem$\$1\unattend.txt (or whereever you keep your unattend file) and delete winnt.sif"

problem is i don't have a unattend.txt file, as i created non attend using nlite, and nlite doesn't create this file as i think it adds it directly into winnt.sif, i did a complete search unattend.txt files and none was found at all,

what i did was used setmgr and created a unttend.txt file, and copied the info from winnt.sif over to unateend.txt, then i continued with your instructions....is that right????

tried to right out as clear as possible, but you know how it is, the more detail one thinks they add will help, but in fact actually makes things worst,


Summary:
2 questions were asked,
1 method needs verifying (copying new driver pack manually over will this work) ?

thanks,

if i haven't explained as clear as i should then just say and i will explain as best as i can, and go 1 step at a time instead of putting all this in 1 post.
