Thanks. sounds like this is simple and doable.

I guess i only need the 24 kB sata.exe. Do you know where to put it? In the
root of the i386? One of it´s sub-directories? I could put it in all of them.
But should I add the name (and path) to some indexfile the installer reads?
Top, bottem, does it matter?
