Network Requirement without Ethernet

[BC100Dev]

I took a brief look at your repo, and while it's cool, there might be a small issue, although not a big one. It is with the consideration of laptops, or literally any device that does not have Ethernet, but have Wi-Fi instead. How should the user perform a Network call with curl, when Network isn't even set up?

I might be not understanding something correctly, but I believe that there could be a different method. Possibly even preloading the unattend.xml script right into the ISO build or something, although I am not sure myself.

This is what Rufus does, but most users are just using the stock ISO

I think a disclaimer that a network cable is required in the README should be enough.

whats adding that file to the installer manually like? could be more helpful to also give instructions for that in the readme as an alternative

Basically, you could add the two files, unattend.xml and bypass.cmd to the installation, and once the installation is done, you hit Shift + F10 within the OOBE to get the bypass.cmd running. This is, as long as M$ doesn't decide to also remove the ability to run CMD. If so, I'm making a new repo that patches the ISO itself in getting the CMD, BypassNRO.cmd and the local account setup working.

What I also believe is that the start ms-cxh:localonly is coded within the OOBE itself, so that if OOBE detects that the command got invoked, it will restart itself and kill that requested program with the help of WinJS (yes, OOBE itself is a web-based application).
