He needs to slipstream SP1 (at > least) to get large disk support. Is there a step by step set of instructions for DUMMIES on how to slipstream a service pack etc. into an XP install DVD? Does it fit onto a 700 Meg Data CD? The last time I looked at instructions for doing a slipstream it seemed like the instructions skipped many important details. How long should it take to slipstream SP3, for example, into an install set that is already SP2? What kinds of programs can be pre-installed with such a slipstream disk and what kinds of programs should NOT be installed VIA slipstream? When using a slipstreamed install CD, does it make installation of various programs an OPTION rather than a default? Can programs be installed without asking for confirmation? What actual tools does it take to slipstream? Does a slipstream DVD have to be built on the same computer it is targeted to install on?
