No you dont, the normal approach is to slipsteam the
service pack onto the distribution before installing Win2K.

Then "slipstreaming" involves interleaving the SP patches in with the installation data, not just applying the SP patches after the normal installation process has completed? 

Correct. You basically end up with an installation
CD with the service pack applied to that.

I have the SP2 CD for WinXP, and I've often wondered whether
anything could be saved by slipstreaming over just installing WinXP
and then running the SP2 CD.

Yes, basically the first run of XP is done using the patched XP. 


   Thanks for clearing that up.  I've been reading about Autostreamer
   for a couple years, now.  How does that rate as a slipstreamer in
   your opinion?
