Re: Installing third party driver without floppy drive

From the slipstreaming article;

"This article includes only those drivers that are typically installed
during graphical user interface (GUI)-mode Setup or post-Setup by standard
Plug and Play enumeration."

Would it still work during win xp installation i.e. during non-GUI mode?
