Hmm, I didn't think that would be confusing. The overall concept here (as you obviously realize) is just to get those driver files in a spot where fwextract.pl can get a look at them. Whether copied to a local directory or directly mounted from the CD doesn't matter. And yeah, you certainly don't need to futz with a live Windows system to do any of that.
