OK now ill admit im fairly new to creating slipstream`d xp boot discs however, I have allready made a slipstreamed sp2 disc ( with hotfix`s) and it works just fine. Now, i wanted to add a few applications (namely 1.1net framework, mediaplayer10, virtual machine and a couple others) so I stumble upon hfslip programme and instructions for the less script minded. http://www.vorck.com/hfslip.html So I dl and run hpslip, ok all good, I enter the files i need in the right folders, all good, I put my updated i386 folder in source and my root source files, all good, When i run the script again.... not good, I get a really friendly message saying i didnt read page 1, it would appear that I need to add something else to my source folder other than i386 folder and the 3 root files. Any Suggestions? ( yeah i know. i need to stop trying to take the easy root and write some batch commands but hflsip just seemed a good work around)
