friends i have a system that has a riva tnt 2 m64.. sound blaster live!.. and asus cusl2-c..a bt878 tv tuner (sux!).. a dlink dfe538 network card
i want that whenever i install win 2000 or win XP .. i may not have to install the drivers over and over again.. though windows xp/2k
i tried adding all those drivers in the driver.cab file.. but no it did not work
then later i discovered that there are references to the files in driver.cab in text files (.ini or .inf or .sif) in the i386 folder..
so i guess putting that in the driver.cab folder is useless

ok
can all of this happen in 98 also.. while installation.. 98 doesnt even detect my graphix card

nor sound card. nor network card
