I am new to slipstreaming but am learning (especially from Kurt_Aust's post on creating an x64 CD) but I do have some basic questions.

1. I see there is a beta available meaning a new release in time. How is nLite updated? Remove then install or just install over old? Will the session .ini files be retained?

2. Is RAID Slipstreamer needed or not necessary?

3. In the burn page, there is a place to insert additional files. I see that these are placed in the target folder but where do they end up after the install? - Windows folder?

4. I assume it is OK to delete old session .ini (and .iniu) files?

5. Is it important to have WHQL drivers? I found that MS offers signtool to build or verify the certificates. Has anyone tried using this tool to verify a driver?

I have made several trial builds, learned much and had a lot of fun. Thanks much to nuhi for nLite!

I am running Win XP Pro x64 Ed.

Thanks for any help.............John

Anyone?

Thanks much for any help..........John

1) I think reinstalling over has the same result as the Presets folder is not deteted at uninstall if I remember.

2) Don't understand the question.

3) You can add files "on the cd" before the iso is made. The target directory being the root of the future cd, those are not copied during install unless they replace files that are normally copied during the install or they are in "OEM folders".

4) You can delete the ini files. Ifyou are talking about those in the target directory, there is also an option to not create them. +They are also saved to the nLite\presets\ directory on the HDD.

5) don't know.

Thanks, Ponch for your reply.

Question two was in reference to the program written by iTwins that integrates RAID drivers (see RAID Streamer). I am wondering if it is needed or can I simply include the drivers from my MB manufacturer.

Thanks again...........John
