Tommyp, ok, sorry.

Too bad, only english version. I'll have to wait a bit. Thanks anyway. Edit by tommyp Thanks for the additional info that you had in your post, but I don't think it is appropriate in this forum. Please don't be a loose cannon.

I like that one... Stange how so many person dig into Windows and then decide to migrate. As far as I'm concerned, I love *nux because it is better documented and it does not act in weird ways. Some things don't work (e.g. my wireless card because of this activate/deactivate wifi button and my driver card 'cause ATI's not providing drivers) but when it doesn't work, it doesn't work and doesn't bug. Kramy, sometimes my hard driver disappears from Windows because it is failing and overheating. XP still runs but I can't run anything (ctrl+alt+del doesn't work since it needs taskmgr.exe). However I'm still able to browse the internet with Maxthon.

Since HFSlip successfully slipstream service packs, wouldn't it be logic that it creates the corresponding folder on startup ? Thanks.

You're incredible. :

Is there a non SDK release ? Also could you post a link to the download page, not a direct link. I found nothing on M$ website. Thanks. (french version )

Many things may trigger driver recompression and anyway it shouldn't cause any problem; recompression is not something incredible.

I'll check asap (maybe Saturday) but I don't think it does.

Kubuntu, :die: And, a for slackware

Why do you want to remove the catalog files? They are required for Windows Update to think that the hotfixes are installed.MBSA2 does not complain if they are removed and it uses the same engine as WU.

I just loaded up a test installation of IPB to try this out. Admins can do it, and mods can do it if the admin gives them the privilege. And I can do it. But not on this board.

You want to separate boot from root? I'm not sure if this is still possible (messed around with this six years ago) or have ever been possible in conjunction with setup automation. I had a virtual driver in VMWare and didn't want to create another one cause it takes too long. I partitionned it and installed on D. Now, we see how silly is XP : it installed boot.ini, ntldr... to C: But it works. I installed this for a friend on his D: and all those boot files went to C:. Once again, it works with no problem. PS: I did, but I didn't want to.

I often use 'cd pr*' which is enough, howerver I really find it useful to have this. And it is more compatible.

I've been sharing my isos with friends. Approximately 5/6 tried and there, 2 couldn't boot. They are both used to install modded XP such as the LSD III (french one). They are far from being computer disabled and now I've removed the -o switch they can boot on the CD. It used to spare 8129bytes so I disable it without any drawback. (one is using a Centrino1 VAIO, the other one has at least a P4@3GHz)

I'll try that one asap. It seems to work. InTheWayBoy, I have many tools and mingw packages are far from being light : tons of files. I'll add some subfolders of Programs to the PATH, but IMHO it's not a good idea to add so many things to SYSTEM32. Another reason is that when using commandline, 'programs' is faster to type. B) I just created a 4MB C:, a 6MB D: and a 1423MB E:. Windows insisted on installing to C:. I selected E: but it formatted C: and then told me C: was to small and that the only partition available was E:. I love Windows.

In "Program Files", there's a space. And the name is shorter. I'm using lots of command-line tools, some mingw packages... and there, spaces are not your friends. Really I've been using the Programs name and I can't live without it now. I'll try that one asap.

Hi, I'm quite annoyed right now. In winnt.sif, I use ProgramFileDir=C:\Programs. Now, I'd like not to use C:\Programs, but %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Programs and as far as I've seen, it is not possible. Do you confirm this ? Today, while I was walking back home, I had an idea. Maybe that it is possible to use DetachedProgram to change ProgramFiles' location. I think it would run early enough so that nothing has been put into the 'old' directory. However, i still wonder if this is possible because of the registry : windows has already loaded the hives (ultrasonic sound, sorry ) and I don't know what happens to entries which contain %ProgramFiles%. It seems some get hardcoded but not others ?! Then I should use an autohotkey/autoit script that would search the registry (hopefully it is still light at this moment) and replace every C:\Programs with X:\Programs. Has anybody any info on this ? Some experience, do you think it can be done this way or do you know of a better one ? Thanks a lot guys.

Just to let you know I've not solved it. And right now, I'm busy with something else.

I don't use integrated iso creator but I know (from older tries with nLite) that mkisofs has problems when dealing with DVDs. It seems to me images can't be burned to DVDs. I don't know what you're using but, for CDIMAGE, don't use the -o switch (encode files only once, thus sparing some space on the media), it causes some boot problems (on some computers, even recent ones, the media will not be bootable whereas it is on others).

I miss Marge's haircut.

thanks for the explanation.
