Only true if using the vlance mode in the ethernet settings. When using
the vmxnet mode it will not find the driver. (which is why i asked :-))

Maybe i asked the question wrong. I want to use the following of my
existing unattend file and not the [_meta] sections:
[Data]
AutoPartition=1
[Unattended]
Repartition=Yes
ExtendOEMPartition=Yes
This makes the ntsetup create one disk-spanning ntfs partition which is
all i need. This would of course conflict with copying of the files to
the workstation first. Can't i call the setup just like as if booting
from a CD (without copying the setup files)?

Sounds good :-)

Thanks a bunch!

No, no problem with the vlance. I just forgot to switch it in the 
settings before posting to the list in very beginning. :-)

Why do you not want to use the [_meta] section?  The example in our
docs does exactly what you ask...
Thank you for clearing that up for me. I will give the [_meta] section a 
try so bare with me... :-)

Thanks again. And keep up the great work!
