For system admins and system builders who want to deliver Windows
installations with the latest from Windows update, but hate having to go
through 5 iterations to do it, consider making a custom Windows XP CD.

This fantastic article * walks you through the entire process of how to
"upgrade” a pre-Windows SP2 installation CD to an SP2 CD. With a little
creativity (and a bit of Google searching) you can apply this information to
also include the installation of common applications, such as Acrobat
Reader, as part of your Windows installation.

If you do a lot of Windows installations, taking the time to create your own
install CD can really save you a lot of time in the long run

*Here's the fantastic article:

This information may be old hat to the gurus here, but I thought it
just might be helpful for the guru-wannabees (not me!) .. :)

then down to the 2d paragraph, and click on This fantastic article.

That took me there. I would have quoted the article, but it was 5 pages
long. I'm sure there would have been a way to make This fantastic
article in my quote work.....but that's beyond me.
