Slimming XP Source

[islander_810]

I want to know what are the different methods to reduce the size of source. This is what I do

1. Use nLite to remove components (this reduces from 570MB to 270MB). I preserve 'Manual Install and Upgrade' to faciliate "2"

2. Use Gosh's method. I use this primarily to be able to use the recovery console. I do this by setting up a dual-boot, one with unattended install, the other without. However, contrary to what Gosh claims, i see Copying Files in GUI mode as well. Am i doing something wrong?

Are there any other methods to reduce size?
