Quick Question Before i Do Something Stupid

[myroots]

Basically i'm about to install Vista SP1 Slipstreamed on my spare PC..as the PC only has 20GB of HD i'm kinda want to know if i could slim down Vista so that it won't take as much HD space as normal..i want to be sure as 100% what are to be kept and what are to be removed. Hope you guys have this kind of experience & knowledge..coz i really don't want to mess the OS up.Thanks.

What are the rest of the specs of the PC in question?

Seems to me if it's only got a 20gig drive in it, the Vista (Even vLited) will run like molasses on it.

Best way is to read and decide if you need the components.

Most important things to remove are

All asian laguages - 1GB

All printer drivers - 700mb

Games - 300MB

Speech suport 1GB

and native speech support 700MB

if i remove the printer drivers i wont be able to use printers anymore or need to manually install the driver, right?

so i would leave them imo just plug-print ;>
