Disassamble, aka rip it apart.
Make more copies, aka burn your "light weight" versions. Though I guess this one can be questioned, as thats what you do with slipstreamed service packs as well.

Wrong. Disassemble means to put into assembly language. Google "disassembler" and you'll see I'm correct. As for "making copies," copies for personal use are allowable by law.

I know what the Assembler language is. But as much as you want to deny it, you are still in a way disassembling the software by removing features.
 
I never tried of these, or heard of em'.

Would someone mind explaining what are these?

My view is that disassembly = reverse-engineering features
removing features = deleting/destroying said features
 ∴ removing features is fine.

In fact, law in my country enables my friends to edit copyrighted DVDs to suit their tastes as long as they don't distribute them.

Except you're WRONG. Disassembling software is LEGALLY defined as using a disassembler to get the assembly code. Since this is a LEGAL DOCUMENT, the LEGAL DEFINITION is applied. Also, IANAL.
 
Regardless of disassembling and removing features, I'd probably not use them. My copy of Windows 7 runs just fine on my PC, why would I want to strip it of functionality?
 
I tried TinyVista, and it actually ran better than normal vista on my craptop.

Although nothing beats Mulinux in terms of smallness...
2 MB space on the hard drive :P
