Bold_Fortune's Slimming Down Xp

[Conan]

I installed nlite once. Did not know what it was. Should I do that? Will it delete unneeded files aready on my pc?

It doesn't work in that manner. It's for creating slipstream installs of Service Packs and then you can remove a ton of unwanted Windows components like MSN Explorer, system file protection, etc., it then creates a bootable ISO. You can also create an unattended install (I haven't opted for this since it changes the way users are logged in).

I've actually slipstreamed my NIC and sound drivers into the Windows install disc, instead of installing them after Windows.

Does it work for most drivers, ie Video cards too? I guess if you are installing XP of different hardware at different times then it would be pointless...

Oh well, I dont mind 40 min installs, time for a cup of coffee or two

nLite is a good alternative though and fairly simply to use.

It works for all drivers. I also slipstreamed the latest Catalyst drivers available. You can configure it for a highly customized or a very basic install.
