hey guys, first timer with Nlite here, i'm getting an asus 4g black soon and i want to custom tailor my XP to the micro-laptop. That pretty much means a no-frills install that can fully support the little laptop's hardware. I don't want IE. I do want to be able to support standard programs, mostly school oriented. I have a large external HDD, so i just want all the programs and installs on the EEE's HDD. im wondering how to install XP without a proper CD drive :S kinda new to this, so be gentle. thanks guys.
