The last install I did was at least a year ago.  I want to say you can 
load or unload extra drivers for the installer before it begins.  Just 
build the drivers for it on put it on a cd or floppy and loadem up 
before you start the installer.  Does this sound right?  Its been a load 
time since I have done this.
