RE: [Unattended] installing drivers during unattended setup

[Alon L. <al...@bi...>]

Hi Brad, 

Thanks for that tip, it worked perfectly. 

I installed the chipset on a test computer, and took the files from the temp
directory where they extracted into.

When I put them in i386/$oem$/$1/, the installation found them and asked me
to select them.

Regards,
Alon

Hi,

Make sure that the chipset driver is also being installed.  I experienced a
similar problem.  The procedure for installing the chipsets is a little
different from other drivers, but should be documented in a readme when you
download the drivers.
