Richard,
On 2 September you wrote
When the time comes for the fresh install, you could slipstream SP2 into you current WinXP CD so when you do the Fresh Install, you would already have SP2.
Through a series of links I found
this from Microsoft, which seems to cover what you suggested. But it's very complicated and your quote implied to me that it was easy.
I would like to have a "slipstreamed" or combined XP install and SP2 update on disk. Can you explain your method, or do I have to teach myself scripting, etc, per Microsoft's Combined Installation process?
Regards
AA
