Running XPe on a 512MB CF

Posted: 10-11-2004, 01:35 PM
Is it possible to run XPe from a 512MB CF drive? Whats the minimal size of a
solid running XPe Image? The runtimes I build are always nearly 1GB in size.
But my project needs to run from a 512MB CF. So are there any tricks to build
a smaller runtime?

Hi,

What did you do to get so large image?

For beginning add to empty TD project only Winlogon or Minlogon Macro component.
And resolve all dependencies.
You will see the size of almost minimal builds based on those two that can boot.

Try to boot these images. And tell us what you need from huge things like: .NET FW 1.1 etc.

Regards,
Slobodan

Just a quick suggestion to add - turn off the pagefile support (you may not want to have it in your run time on CF anyway).
Otherwise TD will show the runtime footprint size estimation including the pagefile size.
