Patches! and a new install

[chudley]

I have not formatted for over a year and am about to this week sometime.

Can anyone recommend a decent program that will save me having to redownload and install all the updates that have been pushed out since service pack2.

Autopatcher is one that I have heard of but I am not sure if it comes complete with all updates on it.

All I do is slipstream a CD with the latest updates, think I used nLite or sommit.

I downloaded most of the updates from this website: http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.html

There is some cool stuff aswell like removing windows firewall and removing windows update etc

nLite FTW. Best proggy EVAR!

nLite and Ryan's VM are very good but for simplicity and ease of use I recommend Autopatcher. Link

Update still in progress, on this machine. I used auto patcher, and it has come a long way since the beta version i had, worked like a dream. Firefox and thunderbird installed.

Just got CSS and steam to do, need to reconnect old drive and drag it over form there as that is where my backups are.
