Guest ***** charles Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Hi all, I would like to create an install cd that has all the updates on it from another oem cd I have (legal). That way when I use said cd to install it wouldn't have to go through a big updates process, thus taking lots of download time. Is this possible and if so how? thanks, charles.....

Guest ***** charles Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Re: Create an OEM install cd with W2K Pro on it? Slipstreaming service packs is relatively easy. I would also like to include all the updates AFTER the service pack was released. Is this possible? I do a lot of installs and I would like to create an install cd for XP Pro and 2000 Pro. thanks, charles......

It will give you win2k with SP4, plus IE6 , Plus many of the updates... but not all of them. I also suggest you may want to look at creating an automated install cd http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/windows/win2k/win2kunattend.html Once you have SP5 and the sif file created... all you need do is boot up with the win2k cd you've made... then come back later and have the installation all done. then just go to the update page and there will be about 30 or so add'l updates

I just checked my latest slipstreamed disc and It's already 2 years old. Luckily (actually good planning) I kept a copy of the whole baseline slipstream directory (prior to the actual writing the slipstreamed disc). So all it should need is to add the updates/hotfixes since then and write another (plus some recapping to bring me up to speed again).

Does the slipstreaming software handle the additional updates automatically? I am envisioning installing each update one by one which I am sure is not the case. thanks, charles....

As I say, it's a couple of years since I went through this but yes, it does allow you to gather together all the SP's and hotfixes that have been released since your original install disc and then hfslip combines them into the final, new install disc. (The documentation even gives you links for downloading the hotfix files). In addition you can customise the final install disc in many ways ... incorporate the serial code, answer much of the setup dialogue, add some options, omit some components, customise right-click menus etc etc. All of the preparatory work, including adding the base files from your original install disc, is set up in a directory tree to which you point hfslip to compile the final disc. It is that directory tree that I mentioned I had saved from last time (in addition to the final install disc) so that all I have to add is any later hotfixes.

Sounds like something I should have learned a while back. later....
