Not fun...

I have tried 3 times to make a bootable slipstream cd using this from the eldar geek website.

It plain doesnt work...

I have looked to other guides - such as this one. But they seem to be overkill...

Alls i want to do is create a windows xp cd that installed SP 1.a from install.

From there it would be nice to get Windows Media player 9 , DX9 and MSN messagner 6.0 and things..but lets stick to teh basics..

so oh master tech people - care to help me out?

I am new to these forums - very nice.

I have recently got into the whole Slipstreaming thing and it seems there are several things left out of tutorials like on the eldar geeks website....

I thought this forum could server to create a sort of tips and tactics for people wanting to slipstream windows XP PRO, with various other things.

Myself i am just trying to install the basic WinxpPRO + SP1a combo - with little success i am afriad.

Anyway post your storys of accomplishment and how to :-)
