"3) Custom XP Installer
Hi Fred, I found a extremely nice tool for making a custom XP installer installing ONLY what you want and not what MS wants and its FREE!! It will build a integrated iso with your cd key in so its truly a hands free install and better yet without all the unnecessary junk the install is very fast. My Athlon 2000 will install from fresh to finished the way I want it in under 20 minutes and uses just over 800mb os space!
Check out this site. I think you will be pleasantly surprised as I was this is a very slick tool.
You do need to exercise some caution but the tool will warn you if you try to remove a important component.
Aloha, and thank you for the terrific mews letter Fred!,
