==Description==

Pharaonic XP is an ancient-Egypt themed bootleg of Windows XP.
The ISO was made using nLite 1.3.5 on Windows XP SP2, and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio.

During installation it is meant to install some extra features such as a non-luna based theme and more software but this doesn't always work. If the extra software fails to install this is called "Pre-Extra Software" and if it is installed it is called "Post-Extra Software".
