overload

File sharing without internet ? what i mean is that is is just for basic tasks, playing music, etc. i use the internet on my main pc. sharing music from my main rig to this one would be convinient but would hardly ever go on the internet.

just the very basics; it needs networking (for file sharing etc, internet is not necessary), play mp3 via winamp, and play dvd (maybe avi as well) via power dvd. and that is about all

I want to creat the smallest xp install possible. I only need minimal features. network, audio, video, dvd. does nlite shrink the install or just the cd? I get an installation of about 700mb from a default install and after deleting driver cache, etc i get about 500mb. if i delete everything i dont use i can get about 280mb or so but then the system is not stable and things dont work because apparently i have deleted registered components or something. i have tried using nlite with various options eliminated but the install does not seem to shrink that much, but the system is much faster and stable. can anyone give some suggestion on how to minimize the xp install or better a ini file for nlite that will give the minimal xp install. if i could start from this i could easily add components back for what i need. Thanks
