Best settings for XP when using nLite

allosunshine · 2 Dec 2008 at 16:21

Sorry if the title is a little confusing but I've insalled XP on my EeePC 901 using nLite but I don't think I have chosen the best options for functionality and performance.
Can anyone recommend or send me the best settings so XP would fit on my 901 but have the most functionality out of XP.

Cheers

Thanks for the link, I actually already found that and followed it slightly but thats more for the original Eee PC's which were less powerful so has had loads stripped down.
I'm after settings that would suit my Eee PC 901 or alike which has maximum functionality of XP but obviously small enough to fit on the 4GB partition.

how long's a piece of string

use compatability options and take out what you don't want

you can't define maximum functionality..
that includes all languages

Ok I'm after as close to a full install of XP minus unneeded stuff like extra languages and options that I'm never going to change.
The reason why I'm asking is because I'm not entirely sure what I do and don't need, e.g. I tried to install NIS 2009 but I couldn't because I'd left somethig out of the original install wich I obviously didn't know that I had.
Hopefully this is a bit clearer.

don't use norton it's a steaming pos

we can't tell you what you need and don't need.. since we don't know what programs you use?!

my nlite cd is about 120mb

I've used Norton for the last 5 years or so and though earlier versions caused serious slowdown the latest is a huge huge step up, IMO anyway. But lets keep it at that.

120mb that is pertty cut down.
I appreciate that no one can say what I do or dont need exactly, but I'd like near enough as full a verson of XP as I can get that would fit on the 4GB drive on the 901 so I can install more or less anything I wanted without getting error messages saying I haven't got this or that installed.
