Customizing the template

You may require additional drivers and programs in order to use the network device attached to your computer. For example, many USB network devices must load an extra driver for the USB port before the driver for the network device.

You can add files to the template and customize the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files of the resulting boot package. Usually these are either DOS drivers or executable programs, but you can add any type of file. Files added to the template appear in the list to the right of the button. If you edit Autoexec.bat ensure that the same changes are made to Autoexec.bat on both disks in the floppy disk set.

If this template is used as a multicard template, then any additional files or modifications are overridden by its settings.

To modify a template

In the Template Properties window, on the Advanced tab, do any of the following:

Click New and select a file to add to the template.

Click Delete to delete the selected file from the list.

In the Autoexec.bat field, type any additional Autoexec.bat entries for the driver.

The entries appear before any network-related commands, such as Netbind.com or the packet driver executable.

In the Config.sys field, type any additional Config.sys entries for the driver.

The entries appear before any driver-related devices to ensure that the enabling drivers load before the main network device drivers specified on the network driver page.

Click OK to continue creating the boot package.
