Use winnt.exe not setup.exe
I was just searching google for information on accessing a shared drive from a small bootable cdrom, and I came across this question. Thought I might throw my $0.02 in 'case it helps someone else browsing.
Of course this question has nothing to do with Wifi in particular, but it's already been asked so I might as well follow up here.
SlickNick: Don't use setup.exe this is a windows setup program and won't find much usefulness under DOS, navigate to your i386 directory and run:
x:\i386\> smartdrv
x:\i386\> winnt.exe
running smartdrv will greatly (from my experience) speed up the process of windows setup copying the files it requires.
Hope this helps you, or someone else who stumbles across this... G'luck and i'm off to look for a bootdisk of my own, my laptop has no floppy and the cdrom is 3 seconds away from being completely dead, at the moment it reads a bit of the cdrom and then just get's read errors out the a**.
