Ok, I've been having a blast and am really excited with nLite and its ability to both free up my time from menial install labor, while simealtaneously use up my free time figuring out how to use it more effectively and tweaking my install CDs..! :whistle:

Anyway, I've started to dabble a bit in the RunOnce section of the Unattended Setup stuff, however I haven't been able to find any guides or tutorials around these forums.

Anyone have some links that might be educational?

Much appreciated!

If you think Nlite is fun and saves time, try inegrating drivers into your CD.

for the instructions.

Only goes to prove, people do not need drugs when you can get high on this stuff

When you integrate drivers should/could you remove the old drivers with nLite first?

nLite suggests you can if you are adding newer drivers, however my first CD I made BSOD'ed in the first few minutes of the install, so I wonder if removing many of the old drivers before adding the driver packs screwed me.

Thanks for the link to that guide, I don't know how I missed it, but I sure did and it was exactly what I was hoping for! :whistle:

I would for my home systems since I have a limited number of hardware items to worry about. However the main use I get out of it is at work, where every week or two we get in a few new machines to whatever random specifications the end-user (or Dell, who LOVES to change drivers every couple weeks in the "same" systems..) wanted or did not want when it was ordered...

I potentially will install win2000 on a celeron 333 and a brand-new Pentium 3.5Ghz in the same morning, god forbid I actually see what kind of video or sound card is in that crummy old machine with a "Turbo" button... Sure we're migrating to XP but those legacy machines that haven't died and noone wants to spend the cash to replace... :huh:
