I have a bunch of PCs running win2k with only 64 MB of ram. I would like to reduce the impact of reader by disabling as much of it as I can and still read PDF files. (If it weren't for security vulnerabilities, I'd run reader 5.1)

1. In the installation how can I disable speed launch, update checker, and installing browser plugins?

2. What else can I do to minimize reader's memory footprint?
