Removed win9x application migration for upgrades from 9x (i386\WIN9XMIG)įirst thing to do is remove unneeded language support. Removed ProgMan the old win3.x shell (i386) Removed Merlin and Rover MS Agents (Merlin-Help Agent, Rover-Search Agent) Removed FP4.CAB (frontpage 98 lite) and Windows Messenger (i386) Removed ASF (streaming vid) samples (i386). Removed WINMINE, SPIDER, PINBALL, SOL, FREECELL, MSHEARTS (i386). Removed unnecessary HLP, CHM (paned compiled HTML help files), GIF’s, BMP’s, WAV’s and JPG’s (i386). Removed default printer support, printer support still there just no printer drivers copied (i386\NTPRINT.INF, i386\DRIVER.CAB, i386 ) Removed support for non-western languages, cut down 60MB (i386\INTL.INF, i386\LANG) This was cut and pasted into my list of txt alterations that can be done:īrief Guide on writing custom distro's of windows using XP-Mini as an example:įirst off, what type of components were removed: It is quite doable but with everything you take out you lose functionality but that being said I have been able to keep the install under 100MB. Take it from someone who has tried before :-\ It won't work as well as you are hoping, unfortunately. I've done it several times, through a number of betas and RCs all have worked to whatever extent I ripped pieces out. You could read that book, or you could go download nLite and start ripping.Īlso, I would think you would want to run this stripped down version in a VM before trying it on real hardware, just to be sure it boots and all that.
