steev Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 After I made an unattended copy, I had this thought:1 Is it better to integrate all hotfixes into XP before burning and load "everything"or2 Use the svcpack method and have hotfixes integrated when XP is being loaded into the computer?Any ideas?Thanks for your comments.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_laze Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hello,The best method is to integrate the hotfixes using RyanVM's 'Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack' and nLite.laze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmRoD Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Use HFSLIP It slipstreams, not integrate the hotfixes.http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=129Or http://hfslip.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steev Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thanks for your answers.Emrod, what is the difference between slipstreaming and integrating?thanks,steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCC Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 The answer to what is slipstreaming, in relation to integrating, is at the end of the first paragraph here: http://hfslip.orgThe difference is that slipstreaming places the updates or hotfixes on the installation source and runs them during install of the operating system (which can take several minutes every time you want to install an operating system, not an efficient use of time). Where Integration (which I have found is a much better and quicker way of operating) actually takes those updates/hotfixes and uses them to replace the original installation source files and you end up with an installation that is up-to-date. RVM Integrator helps you with this, it integrates those updates, essentially updating your installation source and it is so easy that even a 5 yr. old can do it. Well, maybe. I haven't proven that yet. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
