[Unattended] Driver Cache File

[Chris McClimans]

I noticed at one point during the install linux boot disk I see:

...Search for Windows dirvers in collections below /z/drivers/ ...
(this may take a while if you do not use a cache file)
...found X Windows drivers to use.

I'm unsure as to how to create a driver cache file. Any pointers?
Cheers,

Hello,

on the system that hosts Unattended:

$ cd /path/to/your/unattended
$ ./install/dosbin/search-win-drivers.pl -g -d ./install/drivers >
./install/search-win-drivers.cache

(also works on from a windows system with perl installed)

See "search-win-drivers.pl -h" for basic help.

Cheers,
