Default "Data area passed to a system call is too small" while preparing Win 2000 RIS image



Hello,

I'm trying to install Windows 2000 Pro on a CD-Rom-less Laptop with RIS.
First I created an installation Image from the original Win 2000 CD, however
the setup stated, it doesn't have the correct driver for the network card
(funny, that the Boot-Disc works).

So I created a slipstream install directory with nLite and also added the
network driver as well as SP4.

However when I run "risetup", and point to the directory with the 2000
install files from nLite, I get the following error message:

<Path to files>\i386\txtsetup.sif
Data area passed to a system call is too small

What can I do to correct this?
