The word "slipstreaming" was originally used to refer to the practice of many software manufacturers of including updates to their product on the distribution CD without any real announcement of what they were doing or differentiation of the various kind of CDs. It was always a disparaging term because it was poor practice. It was used as a way for the manufacturer not to have to print a different box, manual, etc. for the updated version, and to sell older stock that didn't appear to be outdated, but actually was. That saved them money, but it left the customer unable to tell whether he was buying the new version or the old. Somewhere along the line, people started creating their own updated versions of some software, by merging the update files with the original CD. Someone got the bright idea to call it by the same name "slipstreaming," without realizing that the name was originally used in a disparaging way. The term stuck. I dislike the use of the word this way, but the original meaning has been lost, so I long ago gave up trying to fight it. Since everybody now uses it simply to mean a version with the upgrade incorporated in it, I reluctantly go along. So these days a slipstreamed copy of XP simply means an installation CD that you've made yourself that incorporates an upgrade, such as SP2. At any rate, if that's what you want to do, read he http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=7262 -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
