Need to make bootable cd to install XP Pro. CD or Jump Drive image.

Hi all, and as always, thanks in advance.

I want to be able to ditch the 6 XP boot floppys and replace them with a bootable cd (want to do a fresh install on my laptop-Dim 5100). I also have a 256 mb Lexar jump drive, so I should be able to boot from an image on that, right?

Ideas?

Yup, just be sure that bios is set to Auto Detect the drive and have the cdrom as the first boot device.
