After my last install-fest, which required 15 restarts before I had an OS and antivirus installed I decided to build a new install disk. Using nLiteOS, RyanVM Integrator and the WMP11 Slipstreamer I have what appears to be a fully updated install disk which only required 6 updates after initial boot. This can be improved by adding the most recent updates to the nLiteOS process, but it's infinitely better than what I was using.

The process was not without problems, and it soaked up a number of days, but the upside is that I have an updated disk which also contains all the drivers needed for the lab machines, and a process which easily allows me to add new drivers to the install disk whenever required.

The process will take some time to document - read this as "this post will contain no documentation".

I have successfully installed on two different machines.
