    Mini-Windows

    What's the smallest installation of Windows XP possible? I dont' mean Bart's PE Builder thingy either - I'm looking at cutting all the crap out and just getting bare essentials.

    Any good websites?

    Thanks,
    Kez.

    couple of gig, after sp2 is installed. maybe a bit less if you delete things like driver caches (DON'T DO THIS!)

    Oh I think I'll end up spending a LONG time getting Acronis True Image to work on a PE Builder CD.

    Thanks anyway.
