Yes, I do slip-stream. But I wasn't aware you could slip-stream
third-party drivers. I'll look into it later, along with doing the same
for the BartPE CD's.

However, in this case, I was pulled aside by a new sub-leasee of the
client, as I walked in the door - socially engineered into installing
some trojan spyware protector, then they attempted fix their problems by
deleting "infected" files from the System32 folder. So, no preparation,
and too much hassle to comandeer resources from one of the users (of the
other business).

Although, it had one of those bloody Microsoft Multimedia USB keyboards,
where the function keys (F6, etc) are a sub-function, and you have to
continually toggle the function lock key. It's annoying how, in some
places, it will quickly exit the install/repair, and you have to restart
from stratch. Function lock, F6 key, ... PMO !

You know the axiom. You don't what you've got, 'till it's gone... :)
