Hotfixes - how many do I need?

[Nathelion]

I'm following the general guide for making a bootable CD with some SCSI drivers added, some updates pre-applied, and I'm in the hotfixes stage. My question is this: My original windows CD had WinXP Home SP1 on it. I already slipstreamed SP2 onto the copy. If I want to apply hotfixes and updates on top of that, SP2 will come with all the SP1 updates, right? So the only thing I'll need to do is download all the updates post SP2, and I'll be set? Will there be any issues if, for some reason, an update is added that already exists on the disk?

Also, the stickied post about modified files needed for certain settings - would you recommend getting them just -in-case?

Exactly, when U add just SP2, all SP1 hotfixes are included. I suggest

There is a list of hotfixes in this sticky.

You can use HFSLIP or nLite to add the hotfixes.

RyanVM:s pack contains all updates in one package and is said to be quite good, but I've never tried it because I use a non-english version of Windows.

Add modified files if you feel like it, read what the files do and pick the ones you want. Personally I use modified versions of sfc_os.dll, tcpip.sys and uxtheme.dll.
