I visited the technical site about setting up an unintended install of XP but
that
page is so super technical that it screams of data without any REAL transfer
of knowledge.

I was hoping to see on that page a simple command line to started the
process of using the unattend.txt

I could have sworn there was a exe wizard of some type that would let me
make my own unattend.txt from scratch. Where can I download this program?

On your XP installation CD, look in the Support/Tools folder
for a file named deploy.cab.
Open this file and hit the Ctrl + A keys to select all the
files.
Right click one of the files and select Extract from the menu.
Hit the Make New Folder button and select a handy location such
as the Desktop or your My Documents folder.
Hit the Extract button.
Setupmgr.exe will help you create a basic answer file.
Open ref.chm for more info on adding to your answer file.

You can download deploy.cab here.
