Curi0us_George Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 I apologize if this has been covered before. I could not find the answer in a search.Supposing I didn't want to install the Journal Viewer (which I don't), or some other non-critical update. How would I go about ensuring that it doesn't get tossed onto the new image with all the other updates?A fairly unrelated question: If I wish to add cmdlines.txt, I understand that it is to go in "<...>CDROOT\$OEM$" directory, correct? If I do this, xpcreate will remove the directory next time it's run. Will it work to drop the directory and file in after xpcreate has run, and then manually create and burn the iso? Or is there some simpler way that I'm overlooking?
GreenMachine Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 My favorite second grade character!Welcome to MSFN, George. You can call me The Man in the Yellow Hat!I would suggest you simply to a first run of XPCREATE as is, then edit XPCREATE.INI with DLAUTO=NO, and remove what you do not want. It will not check your files anymore.As for the files you want to add, they should ONLY go into FILESCD, which are never touched, just copied to the final product.
Curi0us_George Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 I will try that and let you know how it turns out. Much obliged.By the way, on your dedication page, your image URLs have embedded backslashes, which do not work in Mozilla-based browsers. IE automatically converts them to forward slashes, but Firefox won't. Just so you know.edit: typo
GreenMachine Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Caught me: I haven't been testing with all browsers lately. Even worse, I'm not setup for Web authoring at the moment. Soon ... and thanks for pointing it out. Break down for a minute and use IE: the page is worth seeing!
Curi0us_George Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 I already looked at it with IE. That's how I know it does automagic slash conversion. It's interesting stuff.
GreenMachine Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Good deal, quick turnaround time!Now stop playing with those paper boats, and get back to the zoo!
Curi0us_George Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Actually I was about to eat some puzzle pieces to celebrate.

Famer Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 @CG if you could post how you was able to remove the files you did not want thanks.... i have tried what GM said but i got errors
Alanoll Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 well, obviously he's using the latest XPCREATE.First runthrough, jsut execute it without changing any functions on downloading. Let it create the base disc. Then after teh first time (it will have downloaded all the hotfixes) open up the INI file, and change DLAUTO=YES to NO and then delete away.
Famer Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks Alanoll for you help i got it to work just as you said GM good tool
