Question about driverpacks

[theuni]

I'm trying to create 2 different levels of driverpack integration for my xp installs. Example:

xp home - some drivers (network, chipset)
xp home - all drivers

xp pro - some drivers (network, chipset)
xp pro - all drivers

Reason being, with network+chipset, usually the others are easier enough to find, but all drivers takes much longer. Though in a pinch, it's nice to have all drivers autoinstalled.

The problem is that when doing xp home all drivers under a different packname (XHDR), suddenly xp home - some drivers (XOHO) get all drivers as well. In fact when done, all options have all drivers, despite what driverpacks were picked.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out what is being modified so that it changes the first one.

I hope i've explained well. Can you shed any light?

Actually I think you would need to modify the presetup.cmd file in the packs that you wish to use different driverpacks. Have them use an "OEM2" directory or something like that. Allthough... you will need to do this manually. Also I would make them in a new destination alltogether... then copy the contents over to your destination manually and add them to your boot.ini lists. ;)

Great idea about the presetup.cmd, though It's mainly the text-mode drivers that I'm concerned about... those are the ones that I don't feel like waiting on if i know it's a standard hd controller.

I'm guessing that there's not going to be an easy way to keep these out of 1 pack and in another?
