ok the quick basics cmdlines.txt goes in the $OEM$ folder add this to cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] ".\INSTALLS.CMD" now create a batch file called INSTALLS.CMD and put that in the $OEM$ folder then you can add waht you want to the batch file which will run around the 13 mintue mark in the XP Setup Screen. EDIT: remeber that the stuff you put in the batch file must be under the $OEM$\$1\install folder.
