thepraisr Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) I have read people can do this ... But now matter how much I strip things from my Vista installation disc, I always end up with no less that 3GB ISO output-ed from vLite. So, what should I do to end up with about 700MB ISO. Thank you.[Edited]Sorry I just saw this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/Image-smaller-why-t124351.html I will give that a try first ... and post back when I got something.

thepraisr Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I have been able to manage to push the size down to 1.3GB. Wondering what else I could strip out to get a 700MB install iso. The main things that I definitely want to keep are wireless, ethernet, and audio. Anyone can give me a guide on what to keep? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepraisr Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks for the link... that's very helpful.Btw, with my vlite-d Home Premium Vista (stripped down to about 1.3GB) I tried to use it and the installation wont proceed because Vista install can't find any drive to install on.What components I have stripped out that I should not have? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepraisr Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks Kelsenellenelvian.As I am writing this post now, my vista is installing.I, however, still got 1.3GB at the least. I followed the preset at at http://www.msfn.org/board/light-vLite-configs-t111149.html and still ended up with over 1GB ISO.I noticed that there is one component alone in the System that has 1.239GB in size i.e. Component Cache (winsxs). But it says that if I remove this component, the ISO size won't be reduced by much and it will remove Control Panel which of course I would like to have on my Vista installation.Please help.

thepraisr Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 And another thing, I just finished the install and it turned out that my mouse doesn't work. Installed the driver and still doesn't work.What I have removed that I should not have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
