I know I have seen an article on this somewhere but I can't find it again. Essentially, it explains how to integrate a Service Pack wtih your installtion of SQL making it one step.
Can anyone point me to an article or explain it?

I found it - it is for SQL 2008, though. If anyone is interested, it is called Slipstream Setup and here is a link to a very good explanation:
If you will have multiple installations that include either a CU or SP1 (when it is RTMed), this will save a lot time once you set it up.

Thats great.. I was thinking the same for 2k5 and as i have installed several instances, i never thought of it... it seems easy for me to install sql (and other services as required) and then go for service packs + hot fixes .. sql server installation is not going to take more time than installing Microsoft office :laugh:
Still we dont have any 2k8 in our enterprise .. this topic will help me to lead 😉 others ...
thanks again . ..
