Nice, would really like to know how this was established and if this was with vLite or womething else. DId you just remove the winsxs folder or waht?

No, I did not use vLite..it's all manual work.
With Vistas imagebased setup it's really childsplay to modify the source, and the setuproutine is much easier on dependencies as well.

winsxs folder cannot be removed entirely, it holds quite a few keycomponents for both your setup and later components install.

Can you share how the manual work was done? What steps you took. Thanks.

Not here, sorry.

It's all done with the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK). You can either use it to create custom installations or even add/remove stuff from your existing install.

I was able to install XP on 166MHz Pentium, but I believe the official requirement was 233MHz. Of course, you could install XP with 64MB of RAM, then remove 32MB and it would run in 32MB, but horribly.

XP can't do "fast user switching" unless it has 64Mb RAM.

wel guys, i know now that the hd demand of vista is down when you vlite it.
it normally asks for 16gb, but after the vlitement, is is satisfied with 8 gb.

Doesn't this leave your ISO the same size and only picks off what you set it to?

A bit like the Office 2007 thing - I was real disappointed to see the ISO didn't
even change size after ripping "OneNote" and "Groove" and all the other crud.

Well, with 0.9 beta out and COmponent Cache removable I am down to 1.4GB for Windows folder and total diskspace used is 1.5GB excluding the pagfile.
