totoymola Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 This folder is at the root of the cd (same level as the I386 and SUPPORT folder). Can I safely remove that folder without any complication? I'm making an unattended CD now (I usually use a DVD) so I need a little more space. I think I can, but I'm not sure.I don't use nlite and I don't know how to make an unattended installaiton with multiple discs.Thanks.

totoymola Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 Ok. Thanks for the clarification. Wait, how do you actually make a multi cd unattended installation with runonceex? What is the easiest way?

B)1) is dotnet automatically installed? or would i have to manually select it?2) if i install RyanVM's: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 do i still need this?
totoymola Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 is dotnet automatically installed? or would i have to manually select it?No it's not. That's why I thought of removing it. Thanks MHz for the clarification.How about the LANG folder? If I'm just installing English version, do I still need that? It is about 90mb.
DLF Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 I've been del the LANG dir with no probs for months. Its 99mb removed. UK XP Pro.
totoymola Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 Cool! So I think I will delete it as well.
DigeratiPrime Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 dotnetfx is garbage, ive been deleting it for months without problems.you can also delete the win9x folders in I386 if you dont use the cd to upgrade from earlier versions of winodows.
DLF Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 See http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/space_saving_tips.htm on the main website. I followed that advice with my orig CD and it was spot-on. No hassles.
