MiniXP

MiniXP

The MiniXP project is based on Dietmar Stoelting's XPSP1 with full commandline and NTFS below 10 MB.

See here for the project homepage. Please refer also to the XPSP1 with full commandline thread (see link above). This project is a WinBuilder wrapper for one of the XP project's discussed in the XPSP1 with full commandline thread. It can be used to create a small Windows XP based installation that can be booted from a physical hard disk or a hard disk image file - RAM disks and file backed disks are supported.

A Windows XP CD, I386 folder share or an existing Windows XP install can all be used as source for the project.

The website and project download include documentation and instructions for using the project. At the moment I recommend testing in a Virtual Machine only - QEMU is included in the project.

This is a minimal XP install - the core files are approximately 23 MB. If all included project scripts are enabled, the build size is approximately 40 MB. This includes -

• a43 file manager
  
• BBLean shell
  
• WinVBlock
  
• FAT/CDFS and NTFS support
  
• Diskpart
  
• Format
  
• Regedit
  
• Task Manager
  
• Notepad
  
• Calc

All this in a 4.28 MB download!

This is a beta release. Please test and feedback - the more feedback the better.
