    Another question then about slipsteaming SP 1 & 2 in: how do I D/L the files for it and arhive them without installing the SP (or in my case, its already installed)? 5 years of patches are a lot to get... And how do you integrate them into the instal? (Along those same lines, I'd like to get IE7 and maybe WMP11 integrated too...lol)
    oops i read that wrong, erm you need to simply google for 'XP SP2 admin install', that will be the 'offline' version of SP2 and what you will need to slipstream into XP

    Following links on VLite's pages, I found an SP2 Adin on MS's page that weighs in at 266 MBs. Would that be it? Just wanna make sure...lol

    Yep that's the one (and remember you won't need SP1), and you can obviously use it to install SP2 on a XP machine without it (saves having to dload it again or via windows update)
