Hi Dennis,

Sorry for the late reply but I was AFK for last 2 days.

I would like to install both the storage and the network drivers during the pre-install phase.  However, if the drivers are stored in different directories of a CD, the autounattend.xml requires two paths to be listed.  This is not currently supported by libosinfo.  I then attempted to add the network driver during the post-install phase.

I only see settings for pre-install drivers.  Am I supposed to generate a secondary script for post install or is this a bug?

You are supposed to generate and install the scripts for the OS in the
particular profile of your choice, not just the main script. In this
particular case, you need the .cmd script that handles post-install
drivers. Also if you want to keep your code generic, you should check
if any script in a profile+OS, provides the capability of driver
installation using the functions:

osinfo_install_script_get_can_pre_install_drivers()
osinfo_install_script_get_can_post_install_drivers()

Oh and if your drivers are not signed, you also need:

osinfo_install_script_get_pre_install_drivers_signing_req()
osinfo_install_script_get_post_install_drivers_signing_req()
