DISM & vLite

[iceangel89]

ok i have used vLite b4 and am i right to say DISM is something like a command line vlite?

i am trying to learn how i can use it

i used /Get-Features and /Get-Packages but for example, get-features gets what i have in Add/remove windows components. when i enable something there does it also enable dependant features? how do i make sence of Get-Packages? its something like just language packs?

is there still no vLite for Windows 7 RC? or is vLite quite safe to use for Windows 7?

I use vLite on removing lang Korean, Chinese, simplified chinese, Vietnamese, this is about 2GiB. Then i remove all drivers because i integrate my own. Also remove natural language, tablet PC, speech recognition. Dont mess with network and tweaks! Can remove media center + default image samples. Integrating drivers is safe and in my tests always works. Tested on 70xx to 7229. I do only x64 version, after vLite image install.wim has about 1.8 GiB.

Hope this little help :-)

I always install from USB, dont use DVD about a year.
