You can.

My last WinXP slipstream came with thousands of drivers picked from  
driver download sites, some of which track the latest for each device.

The main caveat seemed to be it takes WinXP a long time to go through  
them.  It has to copy them to temp space before it can use them.

For some reason, the installer doesn't seem to be able to just read  
them from the DVD.

I was worried that I would end up with 4GB of drivers on my system,  
but it cleaned up before quitting.
