Jumping through a few hoops it's possible to create your own
custom, slipstreamed copy of Windows XP SP1 or SP2: you need
enough disk space, a burner and knowledge of the command-line
parameters to pass to the installer.

Now the question is: is it possible with WordPerfect 12 and
SP1, or must one order it to Corel?

Giuseppe,

This should also be possible for WPWin12. I'm now trying for WinXP pro
and SP2!

So it's a feature of the MSI, not product-specific?

Giuseppe,

Do you subscribe to the Langa List (www.langa.com)? If not, why not!!??
A few weeks back, he described the procedure and all the tools needed
for this task for WinXP pro. His archives can be searched.

The Langa List is the most useful computer information that I receive.
It's free. Better yet, pay US$12, and get the Plus edition with more
stuff. It helps support Fred Langa's very generous donations to children
in third world countries.

Fred is past editor of Byte Magazine and and PC Computing magazine. He
knows about as much as anybody in this business. Really nice guy, too.
I've met him on a couple of occasions.

Because I didn't know about it :)

Yes, I've seen the docs for Win XP pro --that's what triggered
my question in the first place :)
