Zacam Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) So, in an effort to decrease file copy times during pre-setup, I alpahbetized the [Files] section in DOSNET.INF according to a DOS level dir command.It worked beautifully.I'm curious though if I need to retain the [FloppyFiles.#] sections or if they can be deleted as their entries also exist in [Files] section, or if they can be merged into a single [FloppyFiles] section if the windows setup is still utilizing them, even though the install is not occuring from floppy. (What are those things, anyway? j/k :-D ) Edited September 17, 2007 by Zacam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Dosnet.inf used to be used to create the boot floppies. You can probably delete those sections safely, although there's a chance recovery console might use them. Simply delete the sections and try!-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siginet Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 As long as you will never install windows from within an existing windows... or you will never create a Multiboot disk... then you don't need those files. I don't think recovery console relies on them either... but I haven't tested it. I would recommend keeping the FloppyFiles.* sections though.
