    unfortunately for me, I've just redone my system using the Nlited XP disc I created. Have you tried out SysAngel using an Nlited i386 folder to see if it works? I didn't take out too much stuff, mainly non needed drivers & WMP 9 (although I should have left it in as I have had afew video playback probs using MPC. :blushing:

    I wish I had another puter to use as a "tester box" so I could experiment more. ;)

    Hoping to hear some success stories here! :yes:

  2. Well, I had just created my new RC5 Nlite edition & wanted to try it out with SysAngel DVD, but I kept getting a message about it was looking for a certain size i386 folder, and would not let me use it. So I had to go back & pull out a vanilla version of an XP i386 folder for this DVD build. So I dumped my Nlited folder, preventing me from checking the criteria you listed for it to comply. :(

    AS far as language packs, selecting them at the beginning would be great. EVen though most of the people who have an interest in this project do have broadband, the Tweakers Credo of "less is better" is true! :)

    So less "stuff" to pull down before building a disc, the better. So haing an "Options To Install" menu, if it can be done, would be fantastic!

    Also instead of including the biggie Adobe Reader, why not just the cute. small Foxit Reader? :yes:

  3. I installed & ran the program today. Quite amazing. One thing I think that would be helpful would be to have

    a language selector at the starting point, so that you would only d/l the one language version specified as there seems to be lots of different language version of things downloaded, which make the creation process drag on, as does the downloading .

    And if there was ever a way to use this with an NLited i386 folder.... :thumbup

  4. Have you actually examined that iso in ISOBuster or similar to see what exactly is in there? I've never heard of anything like that. If you have your Nlite & required files/folders separated from anything else that might somehow get associated with your OS creation, it just doesn't seem possible.... :no:

  5. Goodness me, the thread that never dies!

    Still sounds like smoke & mirrors to me. If the makers of this Ultimate AntiVirus Program wanted to seed opinions, they would make a beta version available to many many testers to get real time test results "out in the field". There are enough ways to protect your precious proggie from getting bootlegged and still allow people to use a full version of it to determine if it really IS the cat's a** or not.

    All this BS about "live meetings" watching a computer screen demo is silly.

    Put up or shut up. B)

  6. As dman & others have said, I too try to maximize the use of open source/freeware app wherever I can, and for the most part, this is what I use. I also make it a point to donate when I can to those freeware authors whose softs I can't live without, such as NLite, SVC2DVD, etc.

    In regards to music, I do d/l tons of it over time, but end up jettisoning most of it. I have pretty "eclectic" tastes, and am always searching for that New Sound. The 'net opens a window on the world's music to me, which is unattainable any other way. I find that many of the artists that I discover & enjoy are not available to me in my retail outlets, so it isn't always possible to buy them, but I do try, since an original CD copy will alwasy sound better than compressed music files. I find most of the online music stores too restrictive in how I can use the file I've paid for, & often offer crap quality to boot.

    In regards to movies, I rent DVDs and go to the theatre when the movie I want to see is playing, but again, my tastes in film are rarely supported in my locality, so I turn to the 'net & that open window again. Movies , I feel, are a bit different for me - I do not often watch the same movie more that a few times, so unless it's A Classic, I will seldom buy retail DVDs. Just not worth the $$ for something I'll rarely view again..
