OK, Windows has this quirk that whenever you change _anything_ n the
networking, even just the machine name, it wants to reload all the
networking files off CD!!!!  If you already had networking installed, it is
usually safe to skip the files (zillions of them, use ALT-S held down :) ).

But it is the actual Windows CD it's looking for at that stage, not the
driver CD.
