i tried sp0 and it works without any internet.
its been confirmed that you could slipstream sp2 into a sp1 disc, but is it possible to slipstream sp2 into sp0 and get it to fully work?
also, what if you burnt the network install version of sp2 on a disc and installed it on sp0, then install the mac drivers? is this non sense or could it work?

Yes you can slipstream Sp2 into an Sp0 disc. Simplest option in my opinion is to just download nLite from http://nliteos.com/, slipstream sp2 and also build the iso image using the app.

I went through about 10 CDRs before i got one to actually work with bootcamp. I tried to slipstream bootable CDs using programs like Slipstreamer and nLite and then burning a bootable CD with Nero.
Nothing worked. It gave me an error code something like "Cannot boot CD." I thought I fried my mac. So I tried Autostreamer and it slipstreamed a bootable CD ISO for me (all automated). I used DVD Decrypter to burn that ISO and it worked fine.
So yes, you have about 10 different programs that will slipstream Service Pack 2 (which you can download for free from MS). You also have a bunch of burning programs.
The combination that has personally worked for me is Autostreamer + DVD Decrypter. Hope this helps.

well its now working great. the combination that worked for me was nlite and nero.
the only problem is i accidentally installed xp twice (theres a fix for it). and that headphones don't work but the internal mac mini speaker works. its a not a huge deal and i'm sure i can search for these solutions.
Also, it gives me the message; something like - didn't install some necessary components insert xp disc. and i do and it really doesn't do much. confusing, since xp seems stable.
XP reminded me of why i tried a switch to the mac. but it has games.
