question with slipstreaming

[derek]

Stupid question !!??

I just learnt about slipstreaming. To apply Windows
Service Pack to the installation files, apparently what I
need is to run the following command:

If it is for Windows 2000,
C:\OS\SP\I386\UPDATE\UPDATE.EXE /S:C:\OS\ROOT, or,
if it is for Windows XP,
C:\OS\SP\UPDATE\UPDATE.EXE /S:C:\OS\ROOT

This assumes the extracted SP files were already saved in
a folder called C:\OS\SP and all OS files (including other
folders in the original installation CD) were placed under
C:\OS\ROOT.

I strongly believe it is NOT necessary to run the update
command under the same OS as the one that I want to
update. (In other words, I can burn a new CD for a
friend's XP machine with my system that runs Windows
NT4WS, for example). Can someone confirm? Thanks so much.

Yes, you should be able to update the files under NT4WS.

It'll probably work. I use my WinXP Pro machine to create
slipstreamed Win2K installation CDs quite regularly.
