Trimming xp pro

[whyrichard]

Hello All!


I do not want my xp pro to crowd my osx, so i gave xp a partition of 13 gigs.

what would be the best way to trim down the operating system? i do not know xp very well, but if i were to do the same in osx i would do things like delocalize it (removing languages i don't need) and getting rid of printer drivers (something i don't think xp has anyway)

You cannot trim down XP yourself, but there are people who hack it and create versions of XP lite which are only about 200-300mb, these can be obtained to my knowledge but i have no idea how,

xplite is the best bet.

Not much you can do on your own, though, unless you're comfortable digging through the registry.

XPLite looks great. Thanks for the info.

fyi: you cannot delocalize like you can in os x. you actually have to go and buy different languages based on country of origin.

Heh, yep. Windows is already de-localized! Real convenient Microsoft...
