ThinkPadders: 1. I run Borland C++ under Windows, and also a bunch of DOS applications. They do not all fit on the 170 Mb hard drive of my TP500 with all the junk shipped with the machine. 2. I installed Doublespace that came with the machine, but when my machine crashed due to a programming error in a program I was working on, Doublespace reported errors on the compressed drive, took three hours to analyze, scan, and correct the error, and still lost my entire WordPerfect directory. 3. I wish to get rid of Doublespace, yet still fit everything, including Windows, on my hard drive. I'm willing to reinstall the whole thing from scratch, as I really want to get rid of the stuff that came preinstalled and did not come with an uninstall program. My questions: How do I install Windows in it's absolute minimum-disk-usage configuration? Does anyone have a pointer to a book, or magazine article? I've seen suggestions about removing extra screen drivers, etc.--is there a list somewhere of everything I can remove? Can I get rid of a lot of the Windows applications, such as Solitaire, Minesweeper, Write, Terminal, etc? Any advice appreciated. <bruceb> ___ __ __ ___ ( ,)( \/ )( ,) Bruce M.
