Hi! all

I'm just delving in xpe, hope my questions won't appear too newbie for you
all, cheers :)

1. I understand DX9 will only be supported under xpe sp2. I assume that
means the DX9 component will only be available under SP2 componnent manager.
am I right? In that case, can I just install a DX9 runtime to the running
xpe OS (SP1) and have DX9 funtionality?

2. If I were to use a CD boot without a harddisk, roughly how much memeory
will be needed? Let's say, i would need TCP/IP and directX.

Thanks all.

Check out www.xpefiles.com. There is DX9 component (installer during FBA)
for XPe/SP1.

Basic TCP/IP stack won't bring muc to your image size.
But DX will. However, DirectX stuff includes many different components. You
may not need some of them.
Thanks all.

A2:
If by memory you mean RAM memory then answer is same as you would need when you boot from HDD.

KM,

I've searched the mentioned site using 'directx' and 'direct', it came out
nothing :(

And I do remember I read somewhere on the microsoft site that DX9 will only
be supported in SP2. Is the DX9 component u mentioned created by a third
party?

thanks
