winpe cd with network drivers on a floppy

[joebells]

Hi I want to have my unattended install on a network share. I'm working on getting a boot floppy to work correctly but so far all I am having is trouble.

I was thinking of going winpe but I don't want to have to burn a new winpe when a new network card requiring a new driver comes out so I was wondering if it might be possible to tell winpe to look on a floppy for network drivers? That way I could use the same cd and just put the required driver on a floppy.

Is that possible in any way?

No.

yeah I kind of figured as much. I guess that would be more work too as then I'd need the floppy with the driver and the winpe cd. I should be able to get a boot floppy to work and then thats all I will need.

thanks

How often do you have new nics coming in? About the only time we have any new nics where I work is when a new model dell comes out as after a long fight we have been able to standardize out desktops.
