SlipStreaming XP Updates

Is it possible to download the Updates, burn them to a CD, and slip stream them into the OS? Or would it be better to download updates onto a CD and install them after the OS? Thanks everyone.

Can you not just go to the website and install them as you download them?

Sure CodeMan, but wouldn't it be easier and definitely faster during a reformat/install,to have them available already on a separate CD or slipstreamed into the OS?

That's what I did a couple of weeks ago. I downloaded and saved every update over the past year or so. Then when I reformatted and reinstalled XP, I just pulled out the DVD-RW with all my Windows Updates that I'd saved and I was done in an hour. I keep hearing about slipstreaming but it's kinda confusing, so I just saved all the relevant WU executables.
