Re: Making an 'embedded' winxp-like install

How slim? What do you need to run?
The minimum requirements for Windows XP Pro are here

You'll have to buy another Windows XP license. Does it have to be Windows?
Depending on your requirements it might be worth looking at Linux.

representative. You will get a standard XP but with a tool to reconfigure it
to remove all unused components. However "super-slimmed down" is perhaps a
little too aggressive with XP... Alternatives are CE and Linux...

Re: Making an 'embedded' winxp-like install

Has it got to be Windows XP? It largely depends on what you want your
operating system to do, but how about going back to Windows 98? You can
slice that down to very small sizes, but 98 isn't the most stable of
platforms. A small Linux distro may be a better way to go.

Try Look at

The Win98 freeware version was good, but I think the XP versions requires a
full install first, which can then be pared back to be smaller.
A possible better way would be to use Barts PE Builder

This allows you to build a WindowsXP like system, but you need to specify
what you want it to do, it is not really general purpose.
