I found "DriverPacks" (driverpacks.net) to fix most of my issues
relating to drivers. They uses cab files with short names and unpack
them during the first GUI part of the install. Saved me a lot of
headaches relating to the limitations of Windows Setup.

Assuming you don't need the ability to specify a partition scheme during

I have just added a pile of drivers for some new laptops to the $OEM$\$1

The existing ones had been working for our existing PCs, and I just

It just uses the kernel and an initrd file on the USB stick, right?
Simply pull the stick out as soon as the kernel messages start spewing
onto the screen. USB drive should then be not present as drives start

Cheesy workaround at best. At worst, well, it won't solve the problem.
