Many others as "hardware sniffing". So I repeat my question: After partitioning is done, wouldnÂt it be easier to copy a "base bootable image" to a volume?. WasnÂt that the big change in Windows installer from XP to 7?, the fact that the installer is much faster because it just copies/uncompresses a bootable image of the pre-installed OS, then does tweakings/settings on top of it?
