NerdyShinobi Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I will be attempting to get a good, stripped down install going on my wife's laptop, and was wondering if there were any key differences from a desktop install? Any gotchas, pitfalls, hints, tips or tricks as to what to remove or what to leave alone? I guess my main concern is making sure all the drivers make it unscathed without leaving in too much cruft.
