dirtwarrior Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I have been modding 2k with very good results. Now I am going to try xp. Is it possible to get a stable xp with about 30 mb comitt using hfslip? How bout hfslip/nlite together. Size doesnt matter as much as security, efficientcy, and stability.

tain Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 One of the main reasons I still use 2K is because tommyp's HFCLEANUP reducers aren't designed for XP. This may impact your decision as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtwarrior Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 There is an os called xp jacked core. Does anyone know how he did it?I do like 2k and hfslip is amazing. Everyone that worked on it and contributed to it breathed new life in 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camarade_Tux Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 ...link?Then you'll have to remove it as soon as you see it : it's a pirate mod.I really doubt you can run XP on so little memory. OK, you can : you just need a proper swap file to compensate.Anyway, what is advertized shows they missed something can run on 18.73MB RAM (not quoting) : why don't they go to 18.728MB ; such a precision makes me go like that -> Drivers are also a big source of memory usage. Default ones and also 3rd party ones. For example Realtek drivers easily use 20MB which is already over their 18MB.Linux with no graphic interface uses 30MB at least.I know by personnal experience that ~115MB implies at least 60MB of memory to be used.I'm trying to download a copy of it but I certainly won't install it, it really seems to be a lie.And a 30MB commit in XP is unachievable in decent conditions. 60MB is. 80MB is doable while having a confortable OS. 100MB is easy.

dirtwarrior Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 ...link?Just like tux said it is a pitate os. I just wanted to look at it to see how he did it so I can make my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 In order to test my just-released update downloader, I made a new test iso. Result was 120Mo, 5MB more than Windows Jacked OS, a difference around 4%.I forgot to put WIHU so no software has been added and since my program only downloads critical updates for windows, IE was left untouched.I had a 50MB commit. With softwares installed I get a bit more than 60MB.As I wanted to know down to which memory usage I could go I disabled some services (including print spooler...) and got 40MB.csrss+lsass use 5MB. explorer at least 8MB. you need at least two svchost and one services.exe : at least 18MB. Sum this and the absolute minimum is 30MB. This is really and *absolute* minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would switch from 2k to xp on one puter with results like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtwarrior Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Did you use nlite or hfslip or a combo of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs Bunny Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) I use hfslip plus a reg file with good results. The reg file disables unneeded services by default and does some other things (security and looks related).With all the updates and extras on TC's list plus some extra ms fixes not in the list plus IE7 and wmp10 and a Silent installer for DotNet 1.1 + 2 I have a bit under 50Mbyte of RAM used by windows with nothing extra installed. With Antivirus (AVG) + Firewall (Comodo PF) + drivers 'bout 120MByte of RAM are used.These are the services I disable with the Reg file. They are only disabled or set to manual and can be set to automatic if needed. 4=disabled 3=manual[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CiSvc]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ALG]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ERSvc]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Nla]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteRegistry]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\srservice]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\seclogon]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WZCSVC]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Themes]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SSDPSRV]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TrkWks]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LmHosts]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Schedule]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS]"Start"=dword:00000003[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache]"Start"=dword:00000003[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\helpsvc]"Start"=dword:00000003[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent]"Start"=dword:00000003[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SamSs]"Start"=dword:00000003[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\winmgmt]"Start"=dword:00000003[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\upnphost]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mnmsrvc]"Start"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UPHClean]"Start"=dword:00000004I normaly use a fixed IP so I can disable the DHCP service also.BTW here is my full reg file that I put in the HFSVCPACK folder.XPSecure.reg Edited October 23, 2007 by Bugs Bunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) Did you use nlite or hfslip or a combo of both.Both : hfslip, then nlite and a few extras, hfslip wihu and driverpacks.You may see the link in my signature. The beast is ready but I can't publish it because I have no time to provide support for it (hopefully I've only a few months left).edit : read "Both : hfslip, then nlite and a few extras, wihu and driverpacks."instead of "Both : hfslip, then nlite and a few extras, hfslip and driverpacks."

AgiHammerklau Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well, it sounds pretty strange, to HFslip an already nlited HFsource(ss) again.I´m running W2K, create the source(ss) with HFSLIP and run nlite on it, afterwards.What´s the advantage of running HFSLIP again ?Most stuff is already reduced and integrated by HFSLIP, the rest is integrated (drivers), killed/ kept and set by nlite.Agi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lited it with nlite then ran his batch file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 No I made a mistake when I wrote this : I meant wihu in place of the second hfslip.In fact running hfslip after nlite is a very bad idea as it readds some components while being unlikely to put them properly back. You don't necessarily run in troubles but it's far from being clean.Post edited thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
