*This situation involves the standard install procedure for Windows.
I haven't attempted an Nlited version of Windows yet.

I installed XP Pro from an older Service pack 1a disk. I then applied Service Packs 2 and 3.

Even after running XPlite to remove some basic components and the extra temp files and such, my XP Pro install is like 2gb larger than the XP Home ULCPC install that got the same treatment.

(Luckily I HAVE gotten the hang of Ghost, so I have images saved of various installs I've played with recently to fall back to.)

Am I missing some hidden service pack files or something, or is there really that much more bulk to this version?

I figured it out: It's the virtual memory swap file.

The version of XPHome ULCPC the Mini 9 comes with is set for 200MB, while XP Pro sets it higher based on system RAM.

As soon as I opened up Virtual memory the size taken up on the disk between the two installs was nearly equalized.

One thing the '9 is great for -FIDDLING!!!!
