Installation Size

[svasutin]

I read a lot about people trying to make their install smaller, I'm wondering what sizes do people generally get.

Not counting the pagefile or files and folders copied due to $oem$\$1, I end up with an installation size of 2.03 GB for Xp Sp2.

This includes:

All patches and updates listed in the Sticky (HOTFIXES: Win2000 SP4 – WinXP SP1 – WinXP SP2)

Also included:

Mbsa, Msft Calc plus, powertoy calc/image size/tweakui/timer shot, firefox, mp10, divx codec, huffyuv codec, dvd shrink, jdk 1.5.01 + jre, quicktime, real player 10, spyblaster, spybot, winamp, acrobat reader 7.0, flash and shockwave, mgi viewer plug-in, mru blaster, spygaurd, zone alarms, and all the plug-ins and downloads from the Msft Media site (mono 2 multi, wm9 cap, wm encoder, bonus pack, etc)

I just wondering how much space is saved.

[EDIT]

To get my space I

Double-clicked c:

Ctrl+A

Ctrl+Click pagefile.sys, and my install folder(s) to remove these

Alt+Enter

yeah i got about 35-40 apps my self and im around 1.5 to 2 gigs hehehe but im on dvd so space wont matter much for me but when i used to use cdr's i had mine about maxed with 30 or so apps pushing every bit of 698 and that was trimmed down with lang files and other stuff that can come out

well with just my base instal and regular stuff i would use every day id say about 500 mbs
