The school holidays have started. Put a sign up in your window for a ten-year old to assemble the desks for you in exchange for an IDE cable - you're bound to get a volunteer. ;-) :D	Susan B (19)

"There's not a lot that can be done about that, but you can achieve a huge time savings on future installations and reinstallations of XP by integrating SP2's files with those of your original XP setup CD . Your hybrid install CD will work exactly as the original one did, even to the point of using the same 25-character Product Key, but it will be completely up to date with all patches and updates, up to and including SP2 . Any system you set up with the hybrid CD will be pre-patched to current levels, in one step . You'll be totally up to date from the start, rather than facing maybe an hour or more of additional downloads to bring the new installation or reinstallation to SP2 levels . Creating a new hybrid installation CD is surprisingly easy--a point and click exercise with only a few geeky parts . And it works very well . In fact, in most ways, this method of pre-patching an installation CD is basically the same process software vendors use to produce an updated version of their installation software; indeed, starting this fall, Microsoft will offer for sale fully prepatched versions of XP on CD . But you don't have to wait: You can create your own totally legitimate prepatched copy of XP on CD today . Before you begin, you'll need the following: 1) A legitimate XP setup CD (almost any variation will work: Pro or Home; retail or OEM; full install CD or upgrade CD; etc . ) 2) A CD burner, blank CD, and software capable of creating a bootable CD (eg . Nero, Roxio, etc . ) 3) About a gigabyte of free space on your hard drive for temporary file storage . (This space can be recovered after you've made your new CD . ) Extracted from: . informationweek . com/story/showArticle . jhtml?articleID=47212312" target="_blank">www . informationweek . com	Scouse (83)

He is a man of few words, so if he has not said too much to you, don't take it in a bad way. By the way, I learned that he won two or three medals, at least one gold, in a NZ ParaOlympics. That was a long time ago and he no longer has those medals - a friend of mine thinks he had to sell them since he was out of work. For those of you who do not recall, Metla offered to send my friend a printer, free of charge. My friend is unemployed and has been disabled from birth. So Metla, as Beetle knows, you may be a hard hitter at times on PF1 but you are a softie as well. Cheers and keep that halo polished. ;)	Steve_L (763)

273891	2004-09-20 20:49:00	> Is "Slipstreaming" XP legal? As long as the O/S C/D used is not a "Pirate", and the created C/D was not used to install Pirate/Unlicensed copies. Why would it not be? D.	drb1 (4492)
