FINALLY! I finally got nLite 0.99.5a2 up and running today, made my self a new ISO and I tested Minlogon. Honestly, I do not see that much boot time difference, but truly it boots faster and I could delete "those" files

I have no clue why that happened. Anyway, why do you ask? Will it help to solve my problem somehow?

That is basically my question. If I simply delete it, OS will not start saying "could not validate your licence".

I was trimming down the footprint of my setup during last few days to achive my goal of less then 250MB for WindowsXP (BTW my current footprint with WinXP SP2 is 278 MB). That is because I would like to use 256 CF IDE card to boot and run my OS from (with a little help of EWF taken out from XP Embedded). I was supprised when I realised biggest file in my System32 folder is OEMBIOS.BIN. It is 12.5 MB big. I know OEMBIOS.* files are part of corporate licence, and they are needed for proper licence validation, but 12.5 MB is not it quite a big file? Considering WinXP also reads this file anytime it starts to verify licence, causing unwanted delays, I would like to ask if anyone knows how to avoid this file.
