Nuhi

In your release notes you spoke of a new start (discusion) on getting a new list of features for the next generation of nlite...

so here is mine... (in a bit more details).

as we a know, nlite has now several features to 'manage' driver support on our customized windows.

we can:

remove device drivers (vga sound printers lan etc).
remove device support
add our own drivers
and thats about it...

but i think there are about a milion posibillities to explore and think about.
so lets have a look at them.

my favorite is the graet work done by: Bâshrat the Sneaky
what he did was awsom, but his ways are not fuly automated and
even worse is, there are pretty mutch NOT Gui based.


So what would i suggest
wat i would like to see is

1: the current way of "driver removal options" removed from the component removal window.

2: the option of adding drivers to the cdrom
(but without the limitation that they have to be used / installed).
so more like the bts way....
b: the ability to "import" driver sets

3: the option of removing drivers sorted by type AND manufacturer.
so i can keep al vga drivers of brand x and y but removing support for brand z

4: the abilitie of selecting drivers to install like the current driver slipstreamer)
but relocated to the driver management section

5: all of the driver related options to a single window with a tab for each task...
so youd end up with....

what do you want to do
   [add a service pack] 
   [managed system drivers]  
   [remove components] 
   [ addons & hotfixes]  
   [create iso]

I'm not very active on the forum lately because of a new features so don't worry if I don't respond.

By looking at this suggestion I must ask which are those old drivers in the Windows that you need to keep...maybe only printers.

Anyway this gave me a good idea...to scan for integrated drivers and be able to remove them...but I won't promise anything.

I'll reply some more when I think about this and if I have something to add.
