need help with minimum xp install

[tsal2]

Hi all,

i want to make a minimum winxp pro install using unattended mode.

That means i dont want to change anything and use all winxp defaults.

The only thing i want to use is the [Components] section to

exclude all the software there.

So i created a file Winnt.sif and put it into i386 folder.

Now i want the absolut minimum of options i need to put in

that Winnt.sif file, so it just installs like normal but doesnt install

all the options in the [Components] section.

This is my first try, can you tell me if it is correct or if something is missing

or if some options maybe arent needed that i typed.

Please check it out and reply.

Ok, here goes:

Have you tried it yourself in a virtual machine yet?

[tsal2]

No, i dont have a virtual machine at the moment,

i tried it with install from my harddisk but that didnt work.

But i guess it doesnt work from harddisk install anyway from what i have read.

So can you tell me something about my config, will it work ?

Can I remove any options or do i have to add any ?

help pls

[tsal2]

Thats a nice link, thx.

But i still want to know how to install winxp by default settings

and removing all bloat by the official microsoft way using

the components section.

So can someone pls take a look at my config in the first post

and analyze it ?
