Tested, perfectly stable, although you will have to do some manual changes to Services depending on your configuration & needs. It's for Win2k Server so not all of these will be available for Proffesional. I don't remove any drivers as you never know if they're not needed later on

The pc intended for office type with network support.

Don't forget nLite cannot be used in professional environement, you agree to that when installing it.

Sorry maybe just a little misunderstanding, hmm, the pc is for home use only, just used office intended, cause it'll be use internet, word and printing for my bro/sis to homework, thesis etc. .., Well thanks for a word of advice.

I will use sereby.org's windows 2000 update pack to integrate to my installation cd, Is it English language pack? or German? Cause sereby's XPservice pack have a language pack to choose, whether English or German. My question is, is win2k's KB***** updates have also language pack??
