Slipstreaming Question

[tacoeater]

Well I finally tried slipstreaming and it worked fine but I now have questions about what else I can slipstream besides the SP2. After a fresh install of XP Pro with the SP2 there are currently 17 critical updates which need to be installed. Can each one of these 17 also be slipstreamed one at a time?

No only service packs can be slipstreamed, but you can use autopacher.

Yep. You can slipstream each update just like the Service Pack itself, using the /integrate switch like this:

WindowsXP-KBblahblah-x86-EN.exe /integrate:C:\XPCD

(assuming you copied the contents of your XP CD to C:\XPCD)

And then, to ensure that the new XP CD is bootable as well, just burn it like it says in all the slipstreaming articles.

Yes RJ is right it was boring integrating one by one specialy when you make mistake in one letter or something that's way I was using autopacher!!!!

No need to be bored. What I do is rename each service pack when I save it to the hard drive. 82356blablabla-enu.exe becomes 82356.exe then the world becomes a much prettier place.
Thanks for the responses.

I will look into autopatcher, though. I really don't know how it works or what it claims to be.
thanks rj
