I thought this type of thread would be good as a clarification to everybody, myself included, of the differences, advantages and disadvantages of each hotfix install method, including the various methods of slipstreaming, the GuiRunOnce method, an explanation of cmdlines.txt, svcpack.inf, dosnet.inf, and any other methods that exist. I mean this to be an area for clarification of what is known, not for discussion of ideas. Thanks, and maybe someone knowledgeable could post a guide addressing these things.
