MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Only prob though once you slipstream the service pack you'll be lucky to put it back on a cd. Ive got mine down to 900mb standard with sp1 on a dvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GurliGebis Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Thats not what I am talking about, but I figured it out myself.I did an administrative install to my harddrive of all 5 cds, then I applied service pack 1 for all the cds.Then I moved it all together in another folder, and said yes to overwrite files.Then, instead of using setup.exe to install, I use the msi files instead.The result: Installs for Office, Onenote, Frontpage, Visio and Project, all with SP1 applied ..... 783MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 why do people put ** in their links? it's really rather dumb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GurliGebis Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Are you referring to this guide? - linknot exactly.I have them all combined in 1 folder.The problem is that when having done an administrative installation (needed to slipstream SP1), all the files have been extracted, and there are many duplicated files on each cd, by copying them into a single folder and overwriting all files, I have not duplicates, and saves diskspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 I have them all combined in 1 folder.That can lead to problems later on. Keeping the folder how they were, and using cdimage.exe to optimize the ISO, would be a better approach but it depends on individual preferences - if it floats your boat, its fine. why do people put ** in their links? it's really rather dumb...That practice comes from warez boards. Posting direct links is a liability to them (since the server can track-back and find the referrer), so people resort to using code tags and methods like "h**p" (fudging of links).

meno Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 just a random note regarding that AIO Maker. There is a repack of it that makes sure all filestamps stay the same. So if you are looking for the AIO Maker, try to get the repack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
