I don't have much info for you regarding use with smartstart, but here is a
really good site for creating slipstreamed Windows CD's, perhaps it has a
trick that might help.

Subject: [THIN] Bootable CD OS install.
Folks,
I am attempting the following. TO make a bootable CD-ROm with SP2
slipstreamed, and all hotfixes needed. At my PC at home this work flawlessly
( with help of unattend.txt renamed to winnt.sif and put in I386 directory
on the Bootable Cd-ROM. Also I put all the hotfixes in the $OEM$ folder and
created a cmdlines.txt with all the commands to install the hotfixes.
When I use the Smart Start 5.50 CD ( yes tried more than 1 of these) with
assisted method of installation, I get read errors trying to read the CD-ROm
and copy some .cls, and rmi files from the CD. I tried 2 different servers,
same issue. Tried 2 different CD-ROMS same issue.
Has anyone successfully done this. I am soo close I can taste it. It would
defintely cut my installation time for a server and associated programs to
about 30 mins, which means I could rool out about 20 servers a day or 100
per week with this simple CD.
I have all the documentation needed, just need to figure out the darn
problem with Smart-Start and miss reading files.
Any assistance on this would be MUCH appreciated.
