2.2.2 Slipstream Windows XP Service Pack 2
Slipstreaming a service pack, is the process of integrating the service pack into
the installation so that with every new installation the operating system and
service pack are installed at the same time. It not only has the advantage that
when you install your operating system you don’t have to apply the service pack,
but also later, if you update any windows component, you will be sure that you
get the correct installation files. This saves time for the installation process and
saves space on the Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment Server.
Follow these steps to integrate the Service Pack 2 into the Windows XP
Professional image on the hard drive:
1. Download the full “Network Install” of the service pack and save it to a
directory on your hard drive (in our example X:\winXPimg\SP2)
Note: Do not use spaces in the folder name.
