Slinkie Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I've been following NLITE since the days of Win 3.x I think this is the same group.I thought the goal was to reduce Windows version whatever to its lowest terms.I am not talking badly about any person who has ever posted here. I do not meanthis post to apply to anyone here or those who may read this and this is only myown opinion and observation and I may well be wrong. We all know that any versionof Windows... past, present and future is bloated. I thought that this group wasdedicated to removing that bloat. But I see people asking how to integrate this andthat and the other into NLITE. Again, I am NOT talking badly to any person here anddo not want to cause a flame war, so please do NOT take this as such and pleasedo not flame me. All that said isn't there a point in this development where we mustreach a point where we have done the best possible job and say that no more can bedone. Select a Win XP, for instance SP2, and say that we will work on this but nofurther but that we will clean it up as best we can. I have used NLITE as a basisand then have removed things beyond what NLITE does. It is frustrating work and Microsoft gets in its own way. Where is MHUNI.... I hope he is very busy with a verygood job wherever he is and has no time anymore for this anymore. I hope he is notdiscouraged by all the posts about how this and that and the other does not work andhow do I integrate the very latest bloatware from M$Soft. If you want to flame me orwould wish to communicate with me other than here, or to educate me please sendresponses to gymnp@yahoo.com I do not know what point that I am trying tomake. I spend the majority of my computer life trying to hack WinXP SP2 With help fromNLITE and my own hacking I think I have done well. It is possible to go beyond NLITEand I have done things to WinXP SP2 that are not allowed to be discussed here. Folks,I really do spend too much of my life hacking Windows, I'm not married or have a girlfrien right now.Please don't start arguments and if you want to tell me how bad I am email me as above.My goal that i think I have made is to make just ONE reduced WinXP SP2 image that canbe restored to any PC Compuyer. I cannot post this here and I will not talk to those whowant a simple EXE file because there is not such. Anyway, I have talked too much andONE MORE TIME do noy start a war or any bad comments about my post. Moderatorwill probably remove this anyway.The End Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsposter Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Impossible to read. I won't be reading or commenting here until the OP learns some punctuation and sentance structure.It is hard to believe that someone (anyone) knows anything about computers when they are unable to communicate effectively.

GMan_PCTT Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I understand the point and would agree that nLite could be made to make a 'least bloated' install of SP2, but that's not all it is. nLite, vLite and many other tools of this type can also be used to 'customize' a person's install disk. How the utility is used is up to the user.If it was designed ONLY to reduce bloat, that would leave out all of the 'hackers' that aren't trying to reduce the size of Windows and instead prefer to use it for registry tweaks, slipstreaming service packs and/or other tasks that it also handles.The bottom line seems to be that you can use the tool any way you see fit, regardless of whether that use adds or removes from the resulting install size. Like the old Burger King slogan goes, "Have it YOUR way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinkie Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I know my post might have not made much sense, maybe.But one gentleman did make a positive reply. You see, I think that I take this thingfar too personally. I fight it like The Man Of La Mancha. I fight windmills. But Ialways think that there is an answer. To dream the impossible dream; to fightthe unbeatable foe, etc. Windows does not have to be as screwed up as it is,but M$ made it that way. Yet I feel that if I persist enough that I will prevail.I've done well in my efforts but it is like the little dutch boy plugging the dam.We are up against the most 'dishonest' operating system ever conceived.Win ver ANYTHING is truly screwed up. LINUX is NOT an alternative. It isgood for what it is good for but not for most of us. I did not mean to offendanyone, though I misspelled the author's name. I was intoxicated when I postedand have had a few drinks now, too. Please do not think badly of me. I'monly frustrated. By my lack of knowledge of how WIN really works.I do appreciate the comment about what NLITE is for and to 'have it your way'.That was a good explaination. Hope I didn't offend anyone as that was not myintent. I'm just frustrated and confused by my lack of knowledge. My CurrentWINXP SP2 has a hard drive footprint of 336 MB with all the apps that I want.The GHOST compressed image is is 134.270.005 Bytes. I use FAT32 so that Ican get to my HDD with a boot disk. Due the one man's post I understand theintent of NLITE much better. i did not think of it in that way. Sometimes to understanda question or a problem we are too far involved. Likle seeing the forrest for thetrees.Well, everyone, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
