Unfortunately, you can’t slipstream
most (any?) hotfixes into installation media, though I seem to remember reading
somewhere that Microsoft intends to make all critical updates slipstreamable. In the meantime, though, you can use a
workaround to install hotfixes in an unattended install. Though not quite
as smooth as slipstreaming, it works just as well in the end. You can
find a well-written article about that at the following URL: http://www.cheese.org/~scott/useful/Slipstreaming%20Builds.doc If I remember correctly, you simply have
to rename the hotfixes, throw them in a particular directory on the
installation media, and write a CMDLINES.TXT file that executes after the
installation has completed. -James R. Rogers, MCSE From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark I’ve successfully slipstreamed service packs into a
Win2K install media before, but never looked into adding any hotfixes to it. So
I started looking into how to do it, and was surprised to find dialog from one
of Microsoft’s online tech chats, in which the rep said you can’t
do that. Did I misunderstand, or can I really not add hotfixes to a slipstream
image? Thanks…oh, and Tony – thanks also from me for a
great list! Mark Creamer Systems Engineer Cintas Corporation Honesty and Integrity
