During the text setup phase of Windows NT installation, the Windows NT Setup program installs drivers for the following components: keyboard, mouse, video, SCSI, disk, CD-ROM, machine/HAL. If text setup cannot find a driver for any of these components, it prompts the user to insert a disk containing the driver. The user can also select Other from a list of drivers for a component, and this causes Setup to prompt the user for a disk.
If you are distributing a driver for one of these hardware components, and intend to enable the user to install it during text setup, your distribution disk must include a file named txtsetup.oem. Note that for your distribution disk to be used during the text setup phase, the disk must use the FAT file system. A txtsetup.oem file is a text file containing the following information:
·Identifies the hardware components supported by this txtsetup.oem file.
·Lists the files to copy from the distribution disk for this component.
·Lists the registry keys and values to create for this component.
