Microsoft Patches and Fixpacks

[ShinedBrass]

I am very new to this having only ever slipstreamed XP by hand and do have a couple of questions intermixed with the description of my understanding of what vlite is doing below.

My understanding of whats happening is as follows.

vlite asks for the location of the original DVD install for Vista and a folder where to put it for working on which we provide.

vlite then copies the files of the original DVD to the folder we specified, when done it asks us to specify the location of the service pack after which it begins extracting the service pack over the files it copied from DVD.

The next step appears to be integration and heres where my understanding falls down.

Questions.

When I look at the list where KB's would be there are actualty KB's there greyed out ( i know these can be ungreyed by ticking a box ), are these KB's the ones that vLite has detected on my current install over and above the service pack? I.E the Vista I am running vLite from, or KB's that absolutely everyone needs over and above service pack 1? or KB's that were included within SP1? (this doesn't make much sense but i suppose its possible)

If the KB's are the default ones that everyone should have and there are obviously many patches and hotfixes since can I grab those somehow from my existing installed vista and put them into vlite - if so how?

Sorry for so many questions but I like to understand fully what I am doing before I do it.... less messy that way.
