Driver Extraction

The drivers required for the operating system, or updates recommended for
updating the system after installation, are extracted to a temporary location.
These files are deleted after an 18-hour period or when you press
the <F10> key to either cancel operating system installation or re-enter
USC after rebooting.
NOTE:
During the 18-hour period when drivers are extracted to a temporary
location after the operating system is installed, you cannot update USC or USC-LCE,
drivers, or hardware diagnostics using a DUP. If you attempt an update using a DUP
during this time period, the DUP displays a message that another session is active.
