It can be used to analyse a given INF file such as txtsetup.sif

If I'm not mistaken here you are talking about CLI OS systems which is basically for the average user shooting yourself in the foot. Many users are not familair with CLI interface, so you will lose 75% of your audience in one fell swoop. The average joe is not interested in CLI, great 4 specialists to repair systems but residual underlying dos type commands will scare the pants off most users. Small is good but @ the expense of functionality is negative, unless you are very computer savey, for the average joe he would probably state, "as much use as a chocolate fire-guard with a roaring fire in the grate". This probably is coming across as trying to undermine XPCLI but unless its got a mouse & pretty window buttons that most of us are familair with they won't touch it with a barge-pole!

Needed high priority steps:
1) find a substitute for minlogon
or
2) restore "normal" winlogon functionality

My guess, since I did not actually explore this part as I have not a XP install at home (where sometimes I have the time) and have not a XP install at work (on my PC), I have to make use of a friend's PC and of course I cannot use my and her time at workSo out of general curiosity at what size did Minlogon need to to be exchanged for the Winlogon to make it work?
Also don't you mean "Lab rat" or R U just being polite?

Cannot say with XP, but 2K "limits" are at the end of txtsetup.sif, and at the time I let nuhi know and nlite had a setting to allow install with reduced footprint.Altered Txtsetup.sif & Dosnet.inf (& left in uncompressed state) however there must be another file(s) that records the minimal ram & Hdd freespace as the minimum kb size that the mini would allow me to install to was 733 meggabytes, I set it to 512Mb's set up as NTFS. Setup just produced error message at 512 Mb's. It took 15 minutes from start to finish to install on a slow 800Mhz system. Nlited source was 108Mb's and expanded to 250Mb's fully installed with no additional progeys.
Try using UNIVBE:Device manager flags up "other devices" with yellow exclamation marks, multimedia (Which I don't care about) PCI Simple Communications controller AKA modem & video controller, other wise the remainder seem intact. Standby is greyed out, also will allow higher screen res than 800x600 124? x whatever, also activation has been kept just to keep it legal.
What do you mean "releasing"?I am in the process of making some batch files to clean up and remove folders & remove additional files to shrink it down further & generally tidy it up, I think however some of the folders will be re-written due to Windows. would there be any chance of releasing the fileset for XPCLi to do a comparison? will create an image to back it up and use LS to glean the fileset & paths etc

Just READ the given link:Have searched the links you have posted but cannot find UNIVBE for NT all I could find was VBEMP do you have a specific link or what is UNIVBE short for?

Sorry did not realise it was a completed project should have checked the table first, however I will re-phrase my question! Do you have information pertaining to the early manufacture of XPCLI preferably around the 200Mb area & the fileset that you were using at that point. Not really interested in filesets that require Minlogon as a replacement & do not want to reduce to 100mbs. I am thinking that will be too small for my needs? I am think in terms of circa 200Mb's & a NTFS partition of 512Mb or thereabouts (All wrapped in a great BIG please).

Hi folks,
Just a quickie, I have posted this message from my new, I think I will call it "SMALLXP" I have set up the internet connection after numerous problems with files missing however reinstatement of the adsldpc.dll has permitted broad band connection with a free portable web-browser call "Green Browser" which is really very good. Tis small @ 477Kb's with English.ini lang file loaded!
All the Best,
ispy

There are two sorts of 'browsers' available.I only really choose Greenbrowser cuz it was small, tried Off-by-one, didn't like it!

However I've found a little "Cutey" that I want to take for a spin, tis called iJini, packed is 82Kb's unpacked is 288Kb's, single .EXE, NO frills, multi tab unit
Posted 02 October 2008 - 07:16 PM
Posted 02 October 2008 - 10:32 PM
The mscomctl.ocx file is over 1 meg in size + ijini 288Kb's is in the same region as Off-by-one & the intenttion is to keep the overheads down. "O" well back to the drawing board!

How to remove internet explorer from windows xp winxp xp nt6:
ispy, remove as mch of IE and OE as you can, that should reduce your Xp an additional 40+ MB.
