Windows 7 Lite ?

Subliminal Aura · 25 Jan 2012 at 17:22

Is there a guide out there that I can use to slipstream and strip the chaff out of a typical windows 7 installation DVD ?

I essentially want a stripped down version of Windows for use on an SSD.

Any pointers would be great

EDIT
For reference here's what I did

1 - Install Windows 7 x64 with 4gig or less, this reduces the foot print.

2 - Apply some of these great tips http://bit.ly/wuVgTk http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/f...3-*-Windows-7-Ultimate-Tweaks-amp-Utilities-*

3 - Remove windows features that you don't need.

4 - Throw in the rest of your RAM and your install size should be around 10gig

done

How big an SSD?

I can't see you saving much space really.

60gig... It's not really a space saving exercise it's more to do with an efficient windows build without any unnecessary services or apps
