|
|
Hey,
I remember reading something somewhere about a version of Windows 7 that could run on a very small amount of RAM, but I can't remember what it was called or where I read about it.
I Google'd it but all I could find is a version which can't update, and I don't think it's the same as the one I read about before.
Does anyone know of a Windows 7 version like this (which can update), and know how it's called or where I can find it?
(And it's not Windows 7 Starter)

Awesome!
Not the one I was looking for, but this one seems to be even better.
I was about to burn it on a CD, when I remembered the netbook I'm planning to install it on doesn't have a CD drive...
Ideas on how to bypass this?

If you have a pc with w7 with little ram get a 4gb usb flash and use readyboost. It should make it significantly better. You will see no difference unless you have less than 2gb. Probably not to much with more than 1gb.

Alright, it worked!
Thanks for the responses.
Only thing I have to do now is figure out how to get the wifi working.

The tricky part was downloading the drivers without having access to the Internet.

Yeah, best thing to do is download your internet driver in advance and have it on a usb drive or something.

I created a second partition on which I installed Tiny7, and then I used the old version of Windows 7 on the first partition to download the drivers, and copy/pasted them to the Tiny7 partition.
