It was, and is a great utility.. Shame it's not longer supported or officially available around here! Hopefully it's resurrected again someday soon.

I'm a bit late to the wake here, this is sad news.. Makes my face go And my heard go </3 There's still life in the old dog yet, needs a be hosted again and some word up devs and IT WILL rise from the ashes!

Good work keepin' the dream alive boys! (& possibly girls ) Going back to Windows 2000 for the first time in a number of years for some testing.. Where the latest FDV lovin' for Windows 2000..? Or is it really that far gone now? Dead and buried!?! NO don't say it!

Now it's time for FDV/HFslip magic? Very interesting thread you've got here. I'm going to install Windows 2000 on my HP netbook 1030NR, for app compatibility and 2d performance reasons, will let you know how I fair.. AFAIK most drivers from XP will work in 2000 on this system but it's going to be an interesting journey. You've inspired me to kick xp/7 again on one of my systems! Although I couldn't replace 7 on my network at home anymore, it's just so much less complicated getting some tasks done.

You're without a doubt, the best looking man on the interweb.

It's a mid range card guys - Keep ya pants on. Just because they release a new line of cards, doesn't mean the first one has to be high end. Does it?

http://index.php?showuser=47483' target="_blank">Aegis Just wanted to say I hope you don't give up on your project. There's alot of silent people here, that know you got alot of brains and can make this thing really happen and get yourself quite a large rep, if you go about it the right way. I think suspending the project was a good idea given the situation. Hurry up fool! We wanna see some hard work, which we all know you've done! -K

I miss Oleg.. Hoping he comes back. But there's still alot of brain here *points at everyone!* Time to reinstall 2k with all these new things i see on the board, see how it goes. FDV; why would you use Windows 2003, if 2k is still so rockin' and I know there's more to go! Thankyou! -k

lol You two need to get coding & testing and stfu for a lil while. Everyone is dying to see both of your works just get a move on boys! -Kalo

I'll take a stab in the dark. It's an old card so try cleaning out the dust from the fan, its possibly a heat problem. Happened to me a few times. -k

@TAiN, Just download the zip and you can see what files are removed, it's your choice what you put in your HFCLEANUP folder. A detailed discription of each removed file would be pointless and time consuming, I think. This fileset doesn't remove any features whatsoever. Well no features that can't be replaced with smaller and better applications anyway. -k

Hey, Excellent Work Oleg II. The instructions are great! Hope to see more junk removed from the w2k in the future, I will continue to test your removal sets from now to forever. Cheers, -k.

I got my commit down to 29meg from a cold boot, with all drivers installed. dx9c/ac97audiodrivers/nvidia drivers/.net1/2. I used FDVs fileset and Olegs' Reduction files, and a few others files in fixs. This is amazing. Can't wait to see your latest reduction fileset and instructions Oleg II You rock man!

Dude wasn't there going to be a release on nye? C'mon man. The people are hungry! -k

Tell us some more about the process Aegis. Or release a BETA please!! Everyone is dying to get a look at your work man. -k

Thank you TommyP! Now to finally try out this reduction and driver intergration stuff OlegII has got me so intrested in. Thanks again man. Keep it up!

Release a beta asap, I say!!

Aegis How long till you release a beta of this thing? How it progressing? What are you currently focusing on? So i take it, there will be dialup support also now? Glad you changed minimum requirements, not so insane now. -k

If most of the O/S is being removed, wouldn't most hotfixs not be needed?

That's deep man. I got a box of 50 Ubuntu CDs for free from the mail order form on the Ubuntu site, and tryed to hand them out at my local supermarket with a few mates. Most people would ignore us, it doesn't matter what you do in public, people will think the worst and keep walking. Anything to avoid confrontation. It makes me really sad..

What happens if you don't have 1 gig of ram or a broadband connection..?

Can I have a Gmail? I want to play!!

Hey Oleg; have you used Super Speed? I'm pretty amazed at what the trials of this program can do..Very expensive though. Excellent guide Oleg!! Thanks!

@TommyP & FDV, That's so sweet. Can't wait to test them out! You guys are super genius' If there's anything I can do to make your jobs easier, i'm there! Any sort of help or testing, im up for it. @Saugatak, I've used both the latest betas of FDVs' fileset and Tommyps' HFSLIP. Intergrated dx9c, removed DTC & COM, updated ntdetect & ntldr with 2k3 files. Havent intergrated any HFs' yet, my connections to slow and it will take a few hours, which could be spent doing something else I havent had any problems without HFs' though.

Cheers FDV, Works like a charm. Much cleaner and faster then Nlite. Do you plan to reduce source even further in future releases?
