LeoniAquila Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'm using XP SP3 which I've nLited. I do not plan to switch to Vista, mostly because it's so bloated to me. Thus I'm interested in hearing how much you've reduced your Vista ISO files. To compare; my complete XP SP3 nLite CD is 200 MB (no other integrations like IE7 or WMP) and I estimate that I can reduce it even more, to about 180 MB, without problems. Would you consider it an easy thing to get it on a CD - 700 MB?LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oskingen Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 if you want a stable computer you won't go down to 200mb. I Think it's better that you should experience it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladedThesis Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 After adding the first Service Pack, removing everything I find unnecessary, integrating hotfixes and a few necessary drivers, then finally adding certain tools and files into the .wim, my .iso's are generally around the two gigabyte mark, give or take a hundred or so megabytes.

LeoniAquila Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 OK. I'm currently on an excellent working XP Home installation, from an nLited ISO of 127 MB (including SP3 and hotfixes until June). I guess that won't happen with Vista. Anyway, one day I'll probably end up vLiting insanely, I'll check back then. LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoniAquila Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 it only used 400 mb of ram on first boot and seems to be extremely compatible still with everything i throw at it"Only" 400 MB? In XP I use 89 MB.Anyway, seems like there's a huge difference between nLited and vLited ISOs. Either this is the true face of Vista, or vLite hasn't yet discovered what's removable. After all, nLite has been around much longer. I guess it's a combination of both, although I know zero about Vista.LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereaper Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 after some more testing and removal it now only uses 300 mb of ram which is very very good for vista and my xp only uses 30megs to run my nlited xp was only 90 megs and my new vlited vista is now down to 500 even keep in mind the install file is only 400 mb and the boot file is the other 100 it only uses 4 gigs to install and that with the 2 gig page file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
