Thanks Bill. Went there; downloaded; and created the ISO file.

Any idea what I do now in order to make the cd a updated replica of the
original one? I tried the burn process using Nero, following the process
outlined at
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp
but wind up only with the ISO file on the disk.

Shouldn't I see the same files as on the original install cd?
