Doublespace Problem, Minimum Windows

["Bruce M. Binder" <bruceb@lccsd.sd.locus.com>]

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.
