Which files and folders should/can I keep / Remove on a windows XP SP2 slipstreamed cd to gain space for my drivers?

I've tried several but mostly end up in having errors during text mode setup already :(

A couple of conditions:

- I will never upgrade

- I have a laptop

- advanced: all those scsi items in the txtsetup.sif can they be removed in such way that they don't run during txt setup but still do get copied over for use in Windows once loaded (this is not necessary, but can be usefull to speed up the installation process).

Some basic things of what you can delete can be found here: http://www.unattended.msfn.org/xp/space_saving_tips.htm

Furthermore, there are a few guides on how to reduce the source, for example: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=9478

Also, nuhi has developed a tool called nLite to remove things you don't need: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=89
