Recording updates on CD

[Guest Paulo]

Is possible to store on a CD all the updates downloaded by windows update?

If windows needs to be reinstalled on the future, there's no need to

downloading it again!

 

Thanks MS Windows users winners!

Yes. You can make a slipstreamed cd using nLite. You can include updates

not already included in your current service pack.

 

However, I suggest you wait since SP3 should release in the next couple of

months. When it does you can download the version for IT Professionals and

slipstream that with your current XP sp2 cd to create an up to date cd for

use as you suggest. That will be much less work.

What does slipstream mean? Have seen the word here and in other groups, but

must be the only one who doesn't know. Thanks for advice in your post,

Slipstream means a method of "install" a service pack update into the

installation files of an XP install CD. This take all updated file /

added files and updates / merge these newer files into the

installation routine. At the end, the new revised created CD will

have all the updated files on it just like a new reised XP install CD

that you can buy.

 

Microsoft has the directions somewhere to "slipstream" official

Service Pack. Other people have developed "slipstreaming" methods for

all out updates.

The official word for it is "integrate" and if you search the MS

knowledgebase for slipstream you're not going to find much.

 

Try the following link.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900871/en-us

 

One thing that worked better for me was rather than running the command

from the root directory as in the article was to change to the directory

where the program is you need to run...

 

Anyway, I hope this is possible with SP3 when it's released.

Take a look at http://www.nliteos.com/nlite.html. AutoStreamer is also

excellent, but the guides on nLite make much better reading when you are new

to the idea.

Re: Recording updates on CD

 

Has anyone tried slipstreaming Dell setup CD? Does it work?

 

Note: it's not a recovery disc. It's a WinXP OS install disc that contains

no extra bloatwares.

The word "slipstreaming" was originally used to refer to the practice

of many software manufacturers of including updates to their product

on the distribution CD without any real announcement of what they were

doing or differentiation of the various kind of CDs. It was always a

disparaging term because it was poor practice. It was used as a way

for the manufacturer not to have to print a different box, manual,

etc. for the updated version, and to sell older stock that didn't

appear to be outdated, but actually was. That saved them money, but it

left the customer unable to tell whether he was buying the new version

or the old.

 

Somewhere along the line, people started creating their own updated

versions of some software, by merging the update files with the

original CD. Someone got the bright idea to call it by the same name

"slipstreaming," without realizing that the name was originally used

in a disparaging way.

 

The term stuck. I dislike the use of the word this way, but the

original meaning has been lost, so I long ago gave up trying to fight

it. Since everybody now uses it simply to mean a version with the

upgrade incorporated in it, I reluctantly go along.

 

So these days a slipstreamed copy of XP simply means an installation

CD that you've made yourself that incorporates an upgrade, such as

SP2.
