Does SP-2 contain SP-1(a)?

[Cooter]

My new computer is being delivered today and I have to load XP. My XP CD was
sold prior to SP-1 / SP-1a so I have to manually load it. Does the SP-2 file
(which I have already downloaded) contain SP-1(a) or do I have to install
them separately?

Thanks,
Cooter

SP2 contains all the SP1 fixes.

SP2 replaces SP1/SP1a in its entirety, therefore do not
install SP1 or SP1a before installing SP2.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

The SP2 in the full 256 MB version does contain all previous patches
including SP1.
