Slip streaming Windows Install

[Rondog]

Im looking at making a slipstream install of Windows XP. Can any one give me a link to a tutorial, or tell me how to?

Im after a pretty involved one. Somthing that I can include Windows XP SP2, all current updates, Firefox, Thunderbird, iTunes, MSN Messenger 7.5, F@H, Electron Microscope, Bit Tornado, Nero Burning ROM, Ad-Aware, VET with updates, ATi Tool, 3Dmark 01, 03 05, and Limewire.

Is it possible, to include device drivers to. Eg, video card, chipset etc.

As well, as can I have it so, that some of things are not installed. Eg, have them as options.

Like a pop-up "Select from the following program to install: Firefox, Thunderbird, iTunes etc etc."

This defeats the purpose of slipstreaming. But that way, i can setup my computer completely, with only using 1 DVD. Not 27 CD's.

Nlite is a great tool for this:

If you click 'Support' (on the left) there is a link to a guide and the forum link leads to msfn which also has other slipstreaming/unattended install resources.

Also,

http://ryanvm.msfn.org/updatepack.html

is a great site for os updates/hotfixes ready for integration (using nlite or not).

If you go up a level there are also installers for Adobe Reader, .NET and Java.

I searched for slip stream Windows on AOA, and I didnt get this FAQ.
