splitting a wim

[RBCC]

I am building a Unattended Microsoft 7 Ultimate x64 Sp1 installation dvd. Can I split the install.wim into two parts and put them on the same disk and will it install properly? How do I subtract over a gig to make sure it works? What do I use besides zlite rtp? Does RTLite actually make the size of the install.wim smaller so I can fit the install.wim on dvd?

I have all the updates since SP1, Edit Pad Pro, notepad++ , paint++ and Diskeeper 2011 Pro Premiere install in the wim then I create the install.wim.

I use gimagex to create the image.wim file. How do I condense the size of install.wim?

In and around all the flash goodness, is the logic to copy your split swms to the destination and then apply them. I do so from separate discs, and probably wouldnt split or copy the wim if it fit on one disc, I would just run the apply command.

you won't get much reduction in size removing images EX: I removed Premium and my iinstall.wim decreased from 2.75 GB to 2.73 and I did cleanup on it also to remove [Files]
