-.-PhanTom-.- Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) browsing through the various files used when installing xp, I noticed the following entries in dosnet.inf and is wondering if they even need to be there when you use a CD to install Xp and don't use bootfisks?[FloppyFiles.0]d1,disk1,disk101d1,ntdetect.comd1,ntkrnlmp.exed1,setupldr.bind1,txtsetup.sifd1,biosinfo.inf[FloppyFiles.1]d1,disk1,disk102d1,hal.dlld1,halacpi.dlld1,halapic.dlld1,halaacpi.dlld1,drvmain.sdbd1,setupreg.hivd1,setupdd.sysd1,spddlang.sysd1,bootvid.dlld1,kdcom.dlld1,kd1394.dlld1,vga.sysd1,videoprt.sysd1,wmilib.sysd1,i8042prt.sysd1,kbdclass.sysd1,pci.sysd1,acpi.sysd1,isapnp.sysd1,acpiec.sysd1,oprghdlr.sysd1,ohci1394.sysd1,1394bus.sysd1,pcmcia.sysd1,intelide.sysd1,pciide.sysd1,cmdide.sysd1,toside.sysd1,aliide.sysd1,pciidex.sysd1,mountmgr.sysd1,ftdisk.sysd1,partmgr.sysd1,fdc.sysd1,dmload.sysd1,dmio.sysd1,sbp2port.sysd1,lbrtfdc.sysd1,hidclass.sysd1,hidparse.sysd1,usbd.sysd1,usbport.sysd1,usbehci.sysd1,usbohci.sysd1,usbuhci.sysd1,usbhub.sysd1,hidusb.sysd1,kbdhid.sysd1,serenum.sysd1,serial.sysd1,usbstor.sysd1,scsiport.sysd1,usbccgp.sysd1,c_1252.nlsd1,c_437.nlsd1,vgaoem.fond1,l_intl.nls[FloppyFiles.2]d1,disk1,disk103d1,cpqarray.sysd1,aha154x.sysd1,sparrow.sysd1,atapi.sysd1,symc810.sysd1,aic78xx.sysd1,dac960nt.sysd1,ql10wnt.sysd1,amsint.sysd1,asc.sysd1,asc3550.sysd1,mraid35x.sysd1,ini910u.sysd1,ql1240.sysd1,tffsport.sysd1,aic78u2.sysd1,symc8xx.sysd1,sym_hi.sysd1,sym_u3.sysd1,ql1280.sysd1,ql12160.sysd1,abp480n5.sysd1,asc3350p.sysd1,cd20xrnt.sysd1,ultra.sysd1,adpu160m.sysd1,ql1080.sysd1,i2omp.sysd1,perc2.sysd1,perc2hib.sysd1,hpn.sysd1,dpti2o.sysd1,dac2w2k.sysd1,cbidf2k.sysd1,dmboot.sys[FloppyFiles.3]d1,disk1,disk104d1,ntdll.dll,system32\ntdll.dlld1,flpydisk.sysd1,classpnp.sysd1,disk.sysd1,ramdisk.sysd1,cdrom.sysd1,sfloppy.sysd1,i2omgmt.sysd1,fastfat.sysd1,ntfs.sysd1,ksecdd.sysd1,cdfs.sysd1,spcmdcon.sysd1,kbdus.dll Edited October 18, 2005 by -.-PhanTom-.-
ColdFusion200 Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 i would say yes, but i'd wait for somebody who knows more about it than me before to give you an answer before you do anything

jdoe Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 -.-PhanTom-.-,I did that test last year and I notice no difference in a CLEAN installation of XP.I think you can remove those inf section without problems.
-.-PhanTom-.- Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 Jump, worked fine... now on to more trimming
jdoe Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Jump, worked fine... now on to more trimming Well, you can try to trim down more installation files like this, but at the end the installation will be the same. Playing with inf's is useful if you remove components, otherwise it don't worth the effort.
