I have prepared a set of batch files you can run on windows 98 that will
prepare a slimmed down version of windows xp if you have a winxp sp1.
You can download here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~storageplace/jdeboeck98.zip
I ran it fine, but without removing internet explorer, remote desktop
connection, and shell images. The zip includes removing these. Let me
know if any bugs, though ofcourse there shouldn't be.

For more info, go to http://jdeboeck.msfnhosting.com "Windows XP SP1 in
185MB"
OVERVIEW:
- Files and folders should be placed at the root of the windows xp
installation files (where i386 is an immediate subfolder).
- Prep.bat copies winxp from cd drive g:\. If this is not where your
winxp cd is, then edit prep.bat to reflect this. If you already have
your winxp files on your hard drive, skip prep.bat and start
jdeboeck.bat, which will automatically apply all of the batches
sequentially. If you do not want all the batches applied, edit
jdeboeck.bat (remark out lines "rem ...").
- If your system complains about expand, findstr, or makecab, use the
ones supplied in "jdeboeck\98ish coms\". Copy these to your
"windows\command\" folder. You may want to back up your originals, if
they exist.
- When I changed JDEBoeck's original batches, I remarked out the
original lines as "rem orig ...". Files changed have a "98" in the
filename, except for r-msnexplorer.bat, which I think has an error I
fixed.
IMPORTANT:
- Since prep.bat will delete everything, before anything I copy the
following files to my i386mini folder:
dosnet.inf
runonceex.inf
txtsetup.sif
winnt.sif
- I have found the need to delete the unattend.txt that comes with winxp
cd. Prep.bat does this.
- I had problems with similar file names, like accessories and
accessibility, so I accessibility reads as cessibility.
MISC:
- xpboot.bin is the cd boot image file for the winxp cd. xpcd.nrb is
for Nero cd burning software. Double click on this, drag your xpcd
files and you are ready to burn (assuming xpboot.bin is located in
d:\xpcd\setup\)
- Shortcuts in setup folder point to d:\xpcd\i386\
runonceex.inf shortcut is in case you are using help from
