Madhits45 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) Ok simple question from experence only not being partial to any persons pack here. Who's pack would you recomend someone to use? If there is another you use outside of these please post the name and your experence.Please give details on your experence.I myself have used ryans and have now considered using one of the others in hopes that issues I'm having may disappear. Minimal reg entries are my concern & Xable's pack seems to try to do that but does it have any drawbacks that I may not see comming?Here is ryans page that explains the 3 packs for more detail.http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2423 Edited December 19, 2006 by Madhits45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddymon Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Xable's pack is good, but note that when you install Windows with Xable's pack, if you go to Windows Update (or MS Update) you will still see some stuff there. His pack only installs the critical and high priority stuff, none of the optional (aka recommended) updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous_user Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 i like xable's pack because it is light, but ive also used Ryan's pack and its good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piXelatedEmpire Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 each has their own advantages/uses, therefore it is pointless to compare them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhits45 Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) I'm really looking for expereces here. I cant image they are exactly the same. There has to be some self maid reg files or scripts that are used in these and thus one persons approach is likly different then anothers or more likely better in some setups then others. You know windows there is like at least 3 ways to do anything.& where are the boooggy fans? Edited December 20, 2006 by Madhits45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Booogy's pack is designed to be JUST everything you see in windows update after a fresh install of WinXP\SP2 (Except .net and IE7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerzean Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) I use Xable. Edited December 23, 2006 by Gerzean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGhul Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) I personally haven't used boooggy's Pack.Ryan's is the most complete, and probably the most stable, due to the fact that it's the most downloaded AND talked about on the forums. Therefore, any stability issues are found out pretty **** quick.Xable's is MUCH lighter, though. A few updates show up in MU, yes. But nothing you need to worry about. I had a tiny issue with Xable's last pack, 2.0.4, which was upgraded to 2.0.4a after Sigi and I found an issue. SO, no errors there either.Basically, it's a matter of preference.I prefer it LITE, which is why I use nLite as well as Integrator to whittle down the XP cd in the first place. I can handle XP whining about a few UNNECESSARY updates. (For ex., Microsoft considers IE "necessary") So I use Xable's.

Jeremy Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 RyanVM's pack is all I need, so no need for another. *Tips imaginary hat to RyanVM* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
