Anything is possible. What is best is what works for you.

http://unattended.msfn.org/ has some of the most complete documentation on
what you want to do and more than what you want to do.

Most Post-SP2 hotfixes can be integrated into the CD.

Direct Download of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP
http://snipurl.com/8bqy

You can download all updates and burn them to CD..

You can download each update manually - based off the KB Article number,
etc. That way you can back it up/burn a CD of them in case you need them or
use them to keep a slipstream/integrated (updated) Windows XP CD.

How to use the Windows Update Catalog
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323166
(In order to use the Windows Update Catalog, you must use IE to get the
patches..)

Windows Update Catalog
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp
(In order to use the Windows Update Catalog, you must use IE to get the
patches..)

Creating an Integrated Installation
http://snipurl.com/el43

Integrate software updates into your Windows installation source files
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828930

Really customize your CD..
http://unattended.msfn.org/

Produce an up-to-date XP Distibution CD
http://xpcreate.com/


You can see the critical (security and other) patches released for a given
month using the following:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms##-***.mspx

At the end of this line you see "ms##-***.mspx" .. If you simply replace ##
with the two-digit year and the *** with the three character month
abbreviation, you will see the list of "critical" and "important" patches
for that month (since it only happens once a month usually, if you check by
the second Tuesday (wait until afternoon) of each month - you should be
fine) - note that future months will not work.

As an example...

December 2004's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms04-dec.mspx

March 2005's patches..
None released.. so that one will fail...

May 2005's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms05-may.mspx

July 2005's patches..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms05-jul.mspx


Once you get on the page with each month's list of patches.. You can go to
the related KB articles and grab the appropriate files from there.

The Autostreamer worked great but I have a question. Can I use the WinXP SP2
CD I made on any WinXP SP2 computer or do I have to make one for each
computer? I've got 2-WinXP Pro and 3-WinXP Home machines. Just planning
ahead as I know whenever you do a repair install it asks for the Product
Key.

You need to make two, one for your Windows XP Home computers and another for
Windows XP Pro computers.
This assumes the Windows XP Home CDs are identical and the Pro are also
identical.
Retail, OEM, full, upgrade etc must be the same.

I know one WinXP Pro is an upgrade CD, the other states "for use with a new
PC only". I didn't mark what WinXP Home Edition CD goes with which machine
so if they are different is there a simple way to identify the CD to each
machine?
Thanks,
Ed

The Belarc Advisor at www.belarc.com can be used to identify the CD key code
that is on each system.

Ed;
The Windows XP Pro Upgrade is most certainly retail since very few OEM
upgrades exist and they were sent to people who bought a new computer near
the time Windows XP was released 4 years ago.
"for use with a new PC only" is OEM, so they each need their own CD.

Look at the Home CDs closely, if they are different, you will see it.
