Slimming down Windows XP install folder
Does anyone have any information on what u can delete from the i386 folder safely on a Windows XP install. Im currently having probs with the initial copying stage from the distribution point, the install either stops or a message comes up saying there XP need at least 1023MB free space. It was alright but with all the updates the amount being copied over has increased. Obviously too much. I have a boot disk, made from another site. It uses gdisk to format and partition the disk to 2047MB and then reboots and connects to the distribution share, where it starts its copying stage. I've tried increasing the size of the created partition but i get an error: Cannot find a place for the swap file. The code for the disk is: Any help would be appreciated.

dos file names
If you mean: I've tried that but the Wallpaper folder gets copied across as Walpap~1 and doesn't get picked up by the regtweak.

dos file names
I have created \Web\Wallpaper folder under my $$ distribution point with a custom wallpaper. I then have a reg tweak that changes the wallpaper (hopefully!!). But when the install has finished i have a folder with the dos short name and my wallaper is copied to the wronf folder. How do i get the Wallpaper folder to copy as 'Wallpaper' and not have its name changed? I can't rename it to something else as Windows default wallpapers there. Cheers in advance

RunOnceEx problem
no i am installing Microsoft XP Prof edition. One thing different i have is to put the $Oem$ folder under the i386 and not alongside it. This was because my drivers were not picked up when i put it alongside. How would i add REG?

RunOnceEx problem
hi, ive follwed the guide on the unattended installs everything works fine but for the runonceex.cmd. I've tried running it to test bt nothing is added in the registry and the messages i get is that cmdow is not a recognisible command this also happens with the REG command. All the files are in the right place. I have a unattend.txt file do i place the [runonceex] command in there or in the cmdlines.txt file? Cheers for any help on this, it is beginning to drive me round the bend! Here's my runonceec.cmd file cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\prepare.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\AR6\AR6.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""" REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "CRT 3.3" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\CRT33\setup.exe /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\CRT33\register.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT
