Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Well, there are in-lining (integrating) tools available
Something that allows you to have all patches and such in the installation media. Iffn you want to go there.

I have been using [link|http://www.nliteos.com/index.html|nLite] It has a myriad of function and can in-line al Windows related patches (including making IE not installed at all)

I have it so that I can make a new machine in 30 minutes rather than 3 days starting @ WindowsXP first release.

There is another piece that I am still working on that is an unattended installation of everything I need on the Machine including Windows, an Office suite, a (proper) Browser and (really good) E-Mail client, etc... etc...

I am using [link|http://unattended.sourceforge.net/|Unattended], it actually works. Better than Microsoft's SMS (any version of it) plus it is Free and free.

Freedom is not FREE.
Yeah, but 10s of Trillions of US Dollars?

well, the lesser transistorized-level anyway.

Thanks much, Greg - not only al-punte, but maybe all the way to a vetted, patched bootable! Image -- which I considered several stages down the pike!

Finding out (now) the drill from n-Lite (clearly akin to XP-Lite; 98-lite folk.) I expect it will become clear whether I must.. install the .NET framework thing from Beast, or can use their alternate.

Particularly copacetic appears to be the 'Windiz' site (UK), linked from n-Lite.
Are you using their patch triage via a F-Fox plug-in, or your own criteria, d/l-ing initially, direct from the Beast..?

Thus far I gather that Windiz [UK!! - sue 'em Over There, Bally; if you Can..] actually wade through the same stuff we've sloshed - selecting out actually relevant patches / omitting all aimed at modules we won't be installing (OE, IE, 'Messenger' and the like).

Seems necessary to be on hi-speed with actual target machine - as Windiz does an inventory on the O/S's patch state via their plug-in. Seems we can defer patch-install, so that all building is done off-line.

Whatever the criteria of Windiz - nothing to lose. I have only nominal confidence in my triage anyway; the very Titles are often misleading - especially re a patch's redundancy, with SP-2 installed. (And the prole auto-patch thing would drop in some IE or OE build in a trice, with no-asking.)


Love the built-in bootable-image button; looks as if one can do [what, apparently - you most often do with 'installs'?] -- pain&suffering only Once. Test, refine, burn - later, wipe/ re-image.. when the Registry suicides.

That's what I'd hoped to arrive at, eventually.
