i did a nlite install of xp sp2 for my Asus EEE PC (4GB) and everything works unbelievably great except remote desktop is missing and when I pop in my bluetooth USB adapter, Windows doesn't recognize it (it does for full xp sp2 installs).

how do i manually get the built-in bluetooth driver/software installed and remote desktop client & service installed?

According to the nLite FAQ, removed components cannot be added afterwards anymore, which means that you will need to start over.

frack me!

thanks

so what do i need to pay attention when building my installation with nLite if I wanna have built-in SP2 bluetooth stack/drivers, Windows Mobile/RDNIS/PDANet, remote desktop client and service and possibly windows update?

I wouldn't remove any functionality from your build at all. Simply don't install what you don't need, disable what can be disabled, et cetera, but don't remove any functionality. What if you would later discover that you would need a certain functionality, but you have removed it from your build completely? If you need more free space on your installation medium, simply use a DVD.
