Is installing the 4.9 dirvers unattended the same as the way we used for the 4.8 drivers?

[big poppa pump]

Yes!

yay...i have nothing to worry about.....my laptop will be in tommorrow!...YAY!

And are we doing the 4.8 drivers the same as the 4.7?

Just injecting a little humor here.....because I actually screwed up on the 4.8's at first. Duh!

Can someone link me to the way to install these? I did a search for 4.8 and 4.9 and didn't come across anything of value. I want SmartGart and Control Panel installed along with the driver. I do intend on having the forceware and Ati on the CD, so installing it all by default is a no-no. Can someone sticky that thread, so all ATI owners can find it easily? This is probably the hardest thing to slipstream! We could use a nice updated guide.

im done with my unattended business...until mce2005 or xp64, but unattended drivers didnt work for me from winnt.sif or runonceex. i just ended up installing them the normal way. anyways....the 4.9 drivers rock and so does my Aviator AX7!!!!!!!

How did you go about sliptreaming them? I am trying to find the guide they used for it, but not having any luck. Will a generous soul give me a link, so I can be like all the cool kids and have ATI slipstream?

Ok, just so I get this right.

I am doing an UA install disk for an older Dell Dimension 8100 with an upgraded video card (Radeon 9700 Pro) so don't need to have SmartGART loaded. As I understand it then all I need to do with the ATI drivers is have the directory "XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\ATI\2KXP_INF" and the appropriate directory reference in the OemPnPDriversPath. Am I okay so far?

After that the Control Panel is as decsribed in previous posts. Again, good to go?

Actually the only left from the factory is the sound card. A Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, and I think I have that one solve. You guys are great in these forums.

Thanks.....
