jdoe Posted October 18, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-.-PhanTom-.- Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Jump, worked fine... now on to more trimming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoe Posted October 19, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
