OK, as an IT guy in my small company I am really behind the times....

I needed to install XP on a machine with SATA RAID and no floppy drive.

I've ran across slipstreaming before, but dismissed it because of the 
learning curve that I assumed I would have to go through.

Then I hit nliteos.com

While not perfect, I really was slick.

I was able to add SP3, IE7, and WMP11 to the install disk without having 
to do a separate install later - along with all of the junk that comes 
with it.
I added my SATA drivers along with some other goodies.

I removed things I don't use or care for - ie... Indexing service
It is no longer there at all - the files are gone.


Then burned about 6 CDR coasters that didn't work.
XP install kept complaining that it could find a file during install.

Then read to try a DVD - worked beautifully.



I need to use this at work.  This will save at least an hour on a build 
because I don't have to wait for Windows updates to download and then 
install junk.

  Don't you mean "remove from" rather than "add to"?

no I mean add to

While I am not the biggest fan of those 'features' I find that having 
them around does make it easier to do some things.

And yes, you can remove most of those components that you never use.... 
outlook express anyone

I still think outlook express is the best NNTP reader I've tried :/
