Just a side-note on the slipstreaming, do not build your slip-streamed CD under Vista. It will act like everything works, but then when you boot off the CD it won't accept your VLK (volume key). http://www.neowin.net/news/main/08/05/05/dont-slipstream-xp-sp3-on-windows-vista Joe -- Joe Mesterhazy UNIX Administrator, RHCE MSU Department of Radiology 136 Radiology Building (517) 355-0120 ext. 298 From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Valenti Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 1:05 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] XP SP3 slipstream ComputerWorld says the slipstream version is available to MSDN / Technet: May 5, 2008 (Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. late Friday afternoon announced that it had posted what it called "slipstream builds" of Windows XP Service Pack 3 for download by subscribers of its IT professional and developer services. .... Is there someone on campus that can re-distribute this version? It would be for use under the volume site licenses purchased thru the Computer Store. I know I can slipstream my own copy (whenever the SP3 files are available again), but this would save an hour or two. thanks -John
