Topic: [SOLVED] Driver Documentation

ive been using driver pack a few time now,
i kind of came to the conclusion that this method takes a long time on older machines. (or systems with less ram).
so i wondered about trmming theme down a little bit, deleting certain drivers i dont ever come a-cross  like  intel chipsets (i only have nvida sis or via )  remove old vga drivers but not all because i sti have tnt-2 and ati-128-rage cards.  (*and goes on .........)

but what i do mis is a kind of list where de directory naming sceme is explained. 

and i think it would be so perfect if future versions of any packs  would contain a file with a directorie-listing.

for example 

filename: directory.txt
drivertype: chipsets

N        Nividia
-1      Nfore 2 
-2      Nforce Pro 
-3      Nforce 4
-4      Nforce SLI 

V      VIA
-1     etc....

Re: [SOLVED] Driver Documentation

Since I'm not sure whether you have noticed this yet, I will just post a link to the Read-Me of the DriverPacks:

http://www.driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/ … hipset.htm

I know this is alphabetically listed by device names, not folders and paths, but you could enter than into an Excel chart and do the sorting criteria yourself.

I know it does involve some work on your behalf but for the time being gets you where you want.
