smallest sized XP for my needs. please help

[wesleyuk]

Hi guys

i need to stripe out my winXP to smallest sized as possible for my "downloading" box only. no keyboard/muse/monitor.

list must have:

RDC (remote desktop connectop)

be able to updating windows up MS update website (also install the updates)

keep standard pic/fax preview thingy

stuff for bit torrent (azurea)

that it

i've tried 10 times with nlite with different stuffs removed, RDC wouldnt work, others tried and couldnt install the updates etc lol

i gave up so asking you guys if you dont mind to tell me what stuff i need to leave alone

perhaps a copy of your script so i can import them into nlite

many thanks

firslty XP Home, Pro, x64? Do you integrate your own drivers or keep the original?

[wesleyuk]

grrr i knew i'd forget something

XP Pro (business volume licence key), p4 1.6ghz, intel motheboard/LAN, not bothered with sound/graphic as i'll be connect the box via Remote Desktop Connection.

thanks

thanks

[Legolash2o]

nlite folder or nlited CD

[wesleyuk]

[Legolash2o]

lol c:\program files\nlite\ or on the XP disk you tried to nlite

use compatability to keep remote desktop & windows update

also, don't remove the firewall things

[Camarade_Tux]

RDC (remote desktop connectop)

Yup, use the compatibility feature of nlite.

be able to updating windows up MS update website (also install the updates)

Same

keep standard pic/fax preview thingy

There is no non-obvious dependency for this one iirc.

stuff for bit torrent (azurea)

0 dependency

hi guys

i tried same preset with older nlite 1.3.5 and it's working

but when downloading MS updates via MS update website, after downloaded 61 hotfixs, then it says all failed to install.

first updates (windows installer 3.1 and 2 other things) went fine, reboot.

what went wrong?

thanks
