Thank you for the help. Excuse my last post I managed to get the OS fully working. By disabling the "Minimum memory requirement" in nlite - I did not edit the pagefile setting in txtseup.sif as you suggested (I actually forgot) however it still worked on default. The install left me with 120mb free. However after all the drivers (just wireless, video) and firefox - Left me with just 23mb of free space. (even with a 2mb pagefile, I created a 1gb pagefile on a usb pen) I'm going to go deeper with nlite, because I need to install the audio driver and I want at least 75mb free space. ========================================================================= back to nlite, the xp is 201.80mb - this is what I kept... Drivers Multifunctional Portable Audio SCSI/RAID Sound Controllers (can I remove this as im installing my own aud drv) Wireless Ethernet (WLAN) (same here??) Hardware Support Network Client for Netware Networks Connection Manager Mac Bridge TCP/IP Version 6 Operating System Options .NET Framework 16-Bit Support Out of Box Experience (OOBE) Visual Basic 5 Runtime Visual Basic 6 Runtime Services Could I remove anymore? ps, where is that site to find those modified drivers? Cant remember the name now cheers
