vLite with Shift? Possible?

[wu5262]

Hi All, yesterday i install xp on my GF's eee900 using nLite, it's very fast and i am so impress. Now that is done and running super fast, i wonder if i could do the same for my shift, by using vLite to create a strip down version of vista and intall it from an external DVD drive.

Tne problem i could think of is drivers, do wehave the complete list of drives for vista? if so, i think it will be very possible, you get to disable all the service and microsoft cr*p that you don't want, which will speed up Shift a lot.

Let me know what you guys think.

I think the more techno savvy of this forum are working on this amongst other things. If HTC was to provide drivers for the hardware it would help, a lot...

After mounting the XVISTA.WIM inside the recovery partition, I can safely say, Vlite will not work with Shifts Vista.
However, I am currently working on a solution.

I will use a normal Vista Business to create a lite version of Vista and slipstream it into the recovery partition. I hope to shave off a few GB and get some resources free.

But it will take me a few days to get that done. Will keep you updated.

Awww cumon!!

You only have a hard working 800Mz proc!!!

Give it loads of extra file handling and say NITE NITE!!!

(Soz, alchohol moment...)

Do not expect this kit to do anything normally expected of a PC or good laptop, it is a slow UMPC as nothing better exists YET!!!!

I used to see this of people expecting to see a TyTynII act as a laptop!!

Please read the specs of the device and hope for a little more from XDA devs, but not miracles out of the box!!:):):)

dude, I play mkv files on it :D

of course, on win xp made using nlite, with carefull a codec and player selection. there are some of us that would try to get every mhz out of that processor, just for fun and proofs of concepts.
if it were possible i would put win98 on it, and have a boot time of 20sec :) . It would still offer more then a windows mobile environment.

its more about the size of the Vista installation.
Its easier for me to modify Vista then getting XP to work on this.

Besides, whats wrong with freeing up resources...doesnt cost anything and makes it more responsive.

so far, it runs really nice and quick.
Can even play some stuff on it (Ground Control)

anyway...as soon as its done, I will post the download link
