spinjector Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I tried searching, but got too many results to be useful.Has anyone seen a utility that will list the drivers contained in Windows Setup and give you the option of deleting them so they are removed from Txtsetup.sif, Drivers.cab, and anywhere else they hide out?The NOLOAD script for HFSLIP does it already, sorta, kinda, but I was hoping for something with a GUI that will show *all* the drivers, not just the ones for obsolete storage devices.Thanks.

Martin H Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I myself prefer HFSLIP with it's HFCLEANUP feature. It's not GUI based, but you just unzip the HFCLEANUP archive into a folder and delete the unwanted reducer-files and then run HFSLIP. Unattended and no NET-dependency, that's how I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinjector Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Well yea HFSLIP rocks, but there are soooooo many drivers in Windows that are ancient and/or not needed by 99% of installs. Printers, BIOS, video, audio... I mean I'm pretty sure I'll never use a Brother dot matrix printer, or Sound Blaster 16 ISA ever again... =-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin H Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Have you checked out HFCLEANUP?Here's a list of the driver-reducers in HFCLEANUP for XP:Driver_ATM.rdvDriver_DisplayAdapters.rdvDriver_DisplayAdaptersOldStyle.rdvDriver_IBM_PS2TrackPoint.rdvDriver_IBM_Thinkpad.rdvDriver_IBM_Thinkpad.rinDriver_ISDN.rdvDriver_LAN.rdvDriver_Logitech_Wingman.rdvDriver_MODEMS.rdvDriver_MODEMS.rinDriver_ModemsXP.rdvDriver_MSFT_Sidewinder.rdvDriver_Multifunctional.rdvDriver_PortableAudio.rdvDriver_Printers.rdvDriver_Scanners.rdvDriver_SonyJogDial.rdvDriver_SoundCard.rdvDriver_Tape.rdvDriver_ToshibaDVDCard.rdvDriver_Wireless.rdvWith all the reducers in HFCLEANUP(not just drivers), you'll get an ISO of 130megs(with all critical updates slipstreamed directly into source)...

spinjector Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Oh I was using HFCleanup, but sheesh - either more has been added since I last looked at it, or I never looked at it really close enough to realize it did all that. Thanks. =-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
