How can i fit windows vista into one cd?

[drzpapi1985]

I just don't get how some people put their whole windows vista DVD onto one CD!! I remove all the components i can using vLite 1.2 Final (the latest version), and still the iso file comes out to be around 800mbs!! What am i doing wrong??

Can someone please tell me what components should i remove so i can fit vista into one CD...?

Thankz

maybe because you didn't use the extreme switch. Just know one thing if you want to use a stable version of vista i don't suggest you to remove all the components.

Becarefull otherwise you will come back to complain about something not working

choose 32bit, home basic

HOLY COW = Vista Home Basic SP1 with EVERYTHING removed is now down to 422.5megs

Thats even without using the -extreme switch...

Edit = Vista Ultimate SP1 is 424 megs with everything stripped out

You are really missing a step somewhere bud!

What is that "Extreme switch" and how does that help?

Do i really need to get the Windows Home Basic edition to make a Vista CD?

I've seen Windows Vista Ultimate edition in a single CD!

Which are the most important components to safely remove?

Thankz

Right click any vLite shortcut and choose properties

Now add -extreme after "C:\Program Files\vLite\vLite.exe" like this

This will open up some hidden removals like .NET Framework

Yes like they told you must use Home basic. I have vista x64 so that why i did think of it.

Care to post your session.ini file? Also is that the x64 version? The gentleman with the celeron sure would have liked to have that iso
