nLited XP installs for a cab
spystyle:
Hi Dana,
There is a temporary folder "C:\D", that is the unpacked driverpacks. The directory is supposed to be deleted during install - oops. Mine messes that up as well.
My MAME-XP, an old installation on virtualPC :
1.96 GB before D folder is deleted
669 MB after folder D is deleted
Apparently MAME-XP's footprint is approximately 700 MB.
As for compression - I wouldn't do it.
Cheers,
Craig

Boot time is too long for me. Its on a celeron test machien with 1GB of mem, 5400 drive, and ~2GHZ proc. It takes 25 seconds from button push till desktop and no hour glass.

Cool, thanks. One other thing. Is there a setting in XP that allows the computer to shut off completely rather than going to the screen where it says "Its now OK to shut off your computer"?
spystyle:
Oh that's a good question! I think we discussed that earlier in this thread at length...
As for boot time - Hmmm, 25 seconds. Is that with Minlogon installed and the bios set up to post quickly?
What boots faster than MAME-XP? What are you comparing it to?
Have you considered hibernate mode? Can MAME-XP even do that?
So many questions ...
IT guy, where are you?

Hello,
Does Anyone by any chance have any idea how you could make a
MAME - XP install the OS pre-shelled?
I have allready Started hacking the Windows XP installation
screens Logon etc, Looking to remove basically all hints
of Windows XP from Install to Shell..
I saw the post about how to have it copy Mame files
to C:/mame... which is a good start however .....
I'm looking for something that can start Mamewah
instead of exploer.
Is this even possible?
Kinda thought maybe some hidden
registry setting packed away in a cab file or something..
any thoughts?
