Hi KM, Slobodon
Thanks for the replies, I had the intuition that the build order for
boot.ini generation was fixed, although I had hoped that since what
seems to happen right before it is the copy extra files phase that it
could be customized. I think the FBA is an acceptible solution to this
problem. And I am now looking into how to create and add generic FBA
commands as an extra rescource to the build.
The Idea here is that in the near future I will be handing the XPE
project to QA and I want to minimize the number of steps to update and
create new images so the learning curve will be minimal.
Thanks again guys
