Slipstreaming CD for a different machine

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

My son has his own PC with XP SP2, but has a dial-up modem with very limited
monthly time limits. Is it possible (and legal) for me to borrow his WinXP
CD and slipstream SP2 on my machine for him?

Would the fact that it is different architecture make any difference? He's
barely an average user and he could as well speak Greek after 2 lessons as
perform this slipstreaming feat.

As long as your computer is running XP, you will have no
problem creating a slipstreamed CD for use on his computer.
Look at it this way, you're simply updating the files on his
installation CD. The version of XP you're running is
irrelevant.

Good luck

If you are asking if you can create a slipstream version for him on your
computer using his XP CD the answer is yes.

Slipstreaming is a combining two file sets for installation purposes. There
are no per machine customizations that occur during this process.
