Custom XP Install CD

[malikor]

I need to know how to make a custom Windows XP Setup Disk. When I say 'custom' I am not referring to the removal of components but the addition of them. I want to slipstream Windows Updates into the disk, as well as driver packs. I have a Windows XP Home SP3 Setup Disk. I would like to integrate RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP3 Update Pack, DirectX, Java Runtime Environment, Flash Player for both IE and Firefox, Adobe Shockwave Player, Microsoft Silverlight and all of the driver packs listed here, as well as the third-party driver packs that can be found in the forum on that page. My question is: What all programs would I need to do this, how would I integrate those programs, updates and how would I go about doing all of this? I do not want to spend 30 minutes creating a disk, burning it, then finding out it doesn't work.

Can anyone tell me what the driver packs listed on the driverpacks site will do? Will the driver pack install the exact driver for the hardware present on the user's PC? From what I have read, it seems the driver packs for a particular category packs all the possible device drivers of that category in one pack. I wonder how much its useful. What size one pack is? If its able to install the exact driver required for the hardware automatically, then its good. Anyone tried it before?

I think better option would be to search for the device driver for the particular hardware from the hardware manufacturer's site.
