is SP1 required if reinstall XP?

Planning on reinstalling XP Pro (now on crutches after 3 years) given SP2 is
inevitable.

Do I need to install SP1 update first then SP2 or can I skip SP1?

TIA,

You can just install SP2 - each Service Pack for a given OS includes ALL
fixes released previously - including previous service packs.

Do NOT connect to the Internet before turning on your firewall!
