I don't know. I've never tried to run a command such as
ServicePack2.exe /integrate:drive/RTM
in a Command Window (DOS) in Win Me and am never likely to want to try to
do so, so you may well be right. On the face of it I see no reason why it
should not but likewise have some difficulty in understanding why someone
should want to try to do this since someone wishing to create a slipstream
copy of XP SP2 would presumable already have a PC running XP available to
them and if not could install XP RTM or XP SP1, not activate, build XP SP2
and then use the slipstreamed XP SP2.

That is one of the pages I looked at and printed out for reference.
What added to my confusion is the third paragraph under the initial
heading which says;

"Microsoft added the ability to Slipstream a Service Pack to Windows
2000 and Windows XP. It not only has the advantage that when you
(re)install your OS, you don't have to apply the Service Pack later,
also if you update any Windows component later, you'll be sure that
you get the correct installation files if Windows needs any."

It gives the impression that this ability is only available in XP or
2000. Maybe I am reading it too literally. I will certainly give it a
try.
