I hvae a riprep'd image of a dell gx620. I wish to copy files over during
the RIS process so I can kick off the Novell installer (NOvell NICI will not
riprep) on the frst boot using [GuiRunOnce]

XPCd is my flat image of the install cd, GX620 is the Rip's iage of a dell
Gx620. $oem$ and I386 are at the same level in both

In my flat image from the WinXp install Cd I place theew at
"XPCD\$oem$\c\novell" and they copy over fine.

In the RIP's image from the dell GX620, if I place them in
"Gx620\$oem$\c\novell" they will not copy. What stupid thing have I missed?

The information I find is vague about doing this with a RIP'd image instead
of a lfat image....

A better way to put it would be "I need to install certain applications
witha Dell GX620 Rip'd image after the RIS process."

More research ,looks like I need to use the installfilespath statement but
what happens if I change the default

InstallFilesPath = \\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%?

What is the correct format? IE "OemPnpDriversPath" uses "\Driver \NIC" where
the drivers directory is on $oem$\$1\drivers.... So would you do
"InstallFilesPath = \applications\novell" and put novell under
"$oem$\$1\applications\" ?

Do I need to worry about deleting or changing the "
\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%" portion at all?
