I am building an nlite disc and am trying to get the size of my post-install Windows directory down in size. The drivers installation size is all pretty minimal space wise except for a few things. The main thing is my HP printer driver expands to almost 180mb when installed because its some generic HP driver thing and it adds some heavy bulk to my System32 directory.

I'd like to edit the inf files in it but its pretty intimidating. I have never actually worked with an inf file to date so I am here asking for some advice on how to go about that.

The driver is this thinger : http://tinyurl.com/m34bxc

Any pointers on how to get started, or, if its even a feasible project would be appreciated. I'd really like just some basic driver instead of this big bloated .... thing. So far all I've done is extract the installer to a directory and browse around trying to figure out what's going on.

Thanks,
pax
