Slipstreaming SP1/2 into my multboot XPCD ? can this be done ? can someone please post a link or guide ? thanks

All you have to do when slipstreaming is just point the slipstream process to the location of your installs i386 directory. It doesn't matter if it's a single install or an AIO disc.

ok, but what if there are 3 I86 folders on the CD ?

These I386 folders are in diff. locations (i.e. SETUP\PRO1\I386, SETUP\PRO2\I386 etc.).

You must apply the slipsteaming in ALL of those folders.

Important1: donot forget to edit the txtsetup.sif after the update, to ensure the value in

SetupSourcePath = "the path of the root of your install files(I386\) on your AIO-CD"

is correct, and then copy it into the specified boot folder. This must be done for all your boot options(in your case 3)

Important2: donot forget to hexedit the setupldr.bin after the update, to ensure the value to point to the boot folder(i.g. \PRO1) is correct, and then copy it into the specified boot folder. This must be done for all your boot options(in your case 3)

Important3: If all the tips above do not help, you have to rebuild your multiboot AIO cd again after the slipstream to get the correct boot files in specified boot folder

Also don't forget to update the files in your AIO's boot folders (root\PRO1, root\PRO2, etc.)

Also don't forget to update the files in your AIO's boot folders (root\PRO1, root\PRO2, etc.)

This point I've already included in my one of the 3 "important..." , though I've used bold fonts, you have omitted it fully... your Avatar could be more convincing if there is a boy with glasses...
