General Software Discussion / A few questions about slipstreaming, or PE type setup
« on: October 28, 2005, 10:15 PM »
I've been interested in creating a custom image of my system,(well, not the current one...more like the Ideal one).
and I have a need for some input. I'm not sure if should use a program like BartPE, or if I can slipstream what I want into a bootable setup disk, or if I should start a new partition and set it up according to my wants and then just save it as an image to explode to disk. Some things I want to include are some can't live withouts, eliminated items pre-eliminated(such as xplite setup) and also a pile of archives I find myself always going back to for specific things. Any recomendations, suggestions that you wish you'd had , precautions, advice, or comments would be appreciated. I hope to use DVD-rom as the media for the endeavor so if anyone has experience with a good program that will build a self installing image to store on DVD that would be a good start.
Thanks ahead and behind,
