I have ready installed Nlite.
And follow the tutorials in th net.

I see a lot of people can make WinXP to about 300 MB.
But for me, it is about 450 MB.

It's not that bad. What those people have to get that far is either
-spent lots of time tweaking/trying/experiencing on their install files
-have much more knowledge/experience allowing them to know what they can remove
-a very small but broken install for which they ask for help every now and then or reinstall every week.

For those files you are talking about, it is quite straight foward, in the "Components" section, tick the list of languages and keyboards you want to remove. For the rest, as a rule of safety, unless you are installing on a HDD that is less than 8Gig, do not remove things that you are not sure you will never need.

I think it's quite easy.

I'm a newcomer when it's concern about nLite, but I'll
give you the little I know about. After adding SP3 and things like that,
then you'll get that part you can remove some components from the windows,
languages, startbar components, hide or show windows folders, resize icons, etc.

You select the languages you don't want to and maintain those ones you
want.

version: nLite 1.4.9.1[img]
Download nLite new version

Well, I think it can help you.
