Setting up Intel(R) Gigabit Network Connection Drivers for RIS Installation
===========================================================================
To set up network drivers for RIS installation, you must copy files from the Intel(R) Network Connections Software CD to the RIS image [IMAGE_ROOT]. Follow the directions for your operating system.


Microsoft* Windows* 2000 
========================

1. Create an [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory if one does not already exist.

2. Copy all files from the i1\ directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\$oem$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory.

3. Make the following changes to the .SIF file that is used for this image installation (located in the [IMAGE_ROOT]\I386\Templates directory): 

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnpDriversPath = \Drivers\Nic 
 
4. Copy all .SYS files from i1\ directory to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\i386 directory. Do NOT copy the INF files to this directory.

5. Delete E1000NT5.PNF, E1E5032.PNF, E1Q5032.PNF, and E1Y5132.PNF (if present) from the [IMAGE_ROOT]\i386 directory. 

6. Extract the .INF files from PRO1000\Win32\RIS_INF\E1000NT5.ZIP, E1E5032.ZIP, E1Q5032.ZIP, and E1Y5132.ZIP to the [IMAGE_ROOT]\i386 directory. 

7. Restart the Boot Information Negotiation Layer service.

8. Follow the rest of the Microsoft instructions for adding a new network driver to the RIS installation.
