HFSLIP

HFSLIP is an open source command line Hotfix and Service Pack slipstreaming utility designed to update Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 installation sources. In addition to hotfixes and service packs, HFSLIP slipstreams other Microsoft updates such as Internet Explorer, DirectX 9.0c, Windows Media Player, and Windows Media Codecs. It also integrates third-party device driver updates, including DriverPacks. HFSLIP slipstreams (replaces) the original files with the newer versions found in the updates from the Microsoft Download Center. HFSLIP places hotfixes that were non-standard or required a special installation procedure, in the SVCPACK folder, to be installed automatically near the end of Windows setup. As of May 2010, HFSLIP is no longer being developed, and the main website was taken down.

Autostreamer is a free slipstreaming utility for Windows XP, which can integrate a service pack into a Windows XP installation CD-ROM image. The main interface of Autostreamer is a wizard which guides the user through the slipstreaming process. According to PC World, it "simplifies the once-intimidating chore of slipstreaming your Windows XP CD—producing an XP SP2 CD from your SP1 or even vintage original XP CD".

The DriverPacks project is an open source project, which simplifies the creation of a "uniform" Windows installation CD, an installation CD that works on every piece of hardware, without needing additional device drivers after the installation, that was started by Wim Leers and Jeff Herre. It is compatible with all Windows versions based on the NT 5.1 32-bit kernel (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows 7). Leers released the first Pack in 2005. Currently collections of device drivers (ie. DriverPacks) exist for CPU Chipsets, CPU, Graphics/Video, Ethernet, Mass Storage/Removable/USB, Audio/Sound and Wireless (Wi-Fi/WLAN). DriverPacks BASE is a tool that integrates these DriverPacks into a Windows installation CD.
