Has anyone managed to Slipstream Windows Me

[21brian12]

I would like to add the latest drivers and a service pack I found on the board to my install cd. Im not sure exactly how to go about this though. I think I can add the drivers to msbatch.inf. How would i go about adding the service pack? I saw where someone on the board made an unattended boot cd for 98. I dont think its compatible with me though.

AFAIK, you could extract the INFs you need to modify from the CABs, edit them to include references to your drivers and new files, save it (in the install folder) and copy everything there. It is not exaclty trivial and you'll face problems slipstreaming IE, MP and others, which would probably deny you the possibility of slipstreaming the Unnoficial Service Pack (I think it requires IE 5.5, at least) but it is the only way I know.

Honestly, if I were you, I'd just burn a CD with the Windows 98 setup in its folder (Win9x), and then, in another folder, copy everything you wish (Auto-Patcher, IE, MP, drivers, etc.) and install everything manually whenever needed.

I figured it would be a difficult task. Right now I dont have a lot of time so that is the biggest factor. I know my copy of me comes with IE 5.5, but I think some of the updates may require 6. Im not sure about that though. I basically already made a install cd with the updates in another folder like you said. Would be nice though If I didnt have to install them manually.
