Driver Packs might be useful when we look at doing unattended installs of Windows XP boxes in the future. They are collections of all the common drivers for all kinds of hardware, far beyond what comes with the Win XP install media. You can slipstream into a Windows install CD (slipstreaming is inserting drivers and other add-ons into your Windows Install CD), and have the Windows detect & install the drivers automatically without having to worry about installing/setting up the drivers for each computer configuration or install case.

Good freaking find. Even making a “drivers” share could be a worthwhile idea.
