The computers at our college are very similar in spec so the drivers included in XP are fine. I have done testing but all the drivers have been found on all machines cloned so far.

Setup manager included this in my sysprep.inf:

[SetupMgr]
DistFolder=C:\sysprep\i386
DistShare=whistlerdist

SetupMgr is not listed in the Sysprep.inf command ref but is listed in unattend.txt, is this supposed to work in sysprep?

Can I delete the DistFolder and just have the DistShare?

When sysprep runs on a new machine and cannot find drivers and files does it download the whole i386 folder from the share or just the drivers and files it needs?

I have already added to my sysprep.inf:

[unattended]
InstallFilesPath=C:\Sysprep\i386
OemPnPDriversPath=drivers\video

I believe the InstallFilesPath is used for adding language files etc and OemPnpDriversPath can be used to add pointers to new drivers that are place in c:\drivers\video\productname, as they are discovered in the future.

Any help or advice would be helpful
