This tells you exactly what you can remove from Windows XP so it will install on an EEE PC. He got the install down under 750MB which is great (leaves 3.25GB for us 4 GB owners). Just thought I would share.

Yeah that's the guide I used for my XP install but he took somethings off that I still wanted left on mine so I deviated a little from it and mine ended up taking up a bit more space, but overall it's an excellent guide on how to slim xp down for the EEE PC's.

I used the guide to setup my fiance's EEE PC here are the results. This is Windows XP SP2, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Win Rar and that is all right now. Considerablely better than the Linux they come loaded with even.

Yea just the other day I did a fresh install off the same disk and it was just at 2GB. So I cut out about 1.25 GB of junk. Just windows on the EEE PC was 750 MB.
