Windows XP install ISOs for use with VMWare
I run VMWare on my Mac to test sites in IE and other Windows browsers.
I've upgraded to VMWare 3 but it does seem slower.
I have my legit install disc of XP with my S/N but I don't know enough about Windows to know what I can cut out and what I can't.
I've tried NLite without a lot of success.
Does anyone know of anywhere I can download an XP installation disc image that is already streamlined (perhaps with SP3) so it installs only the bear minimum to allow me to run XP with IE/FF and other browsers....
Cheers,
Rich

What version of XP? Home? Pro? Corporate? (I know, I know )
There is some small version of XP on the net, obviously via torrents and obviously with questionable legality (though if you have a legit key for XP I don't overly see the problem with obtaining the iso from somewhere, it's not as is MS makes billions from the media itself, it's the data, but I digress). I'm trying to recall what the thing was called, and what was chopped out of it.
This has a couple of links that might be of use.
