cozofdeath Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Your best bet in my opinion is the save service pack 2 and either slipstream it into the installation or afterwards. I don't think you can save all the fixes individually, and even if you did they probably have to be installed in the right order and you would need a tool like qchain to do it. If your going to slipstream a good/easy tool to use is nLite, but there are many others as well. With nLite you can do a lot to your installation like add programs to it like firefox or AVG, remove things you don't want like IE or messenger, pick what update fixes or drivers you want included, make a bootable unattended installation cd.....etc. Hope some of that helps. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
