No, I dont have a DVD Burner.

You can try overburning one CD... depending on the manufacturer you can get anywhere from 750 to 890Mb on a "700Mb" CD-R.

I know this is a bit off topic but it may help...

Removing some folders can save room.

I save 180mb by removing the cmpnents,SUPPORT,VALUEADD,LANG,WIN9XMIG,WIN9XUPG and WINNTUPG folders.

You may have to be careful of the LANG folder seeing as english is not your first language.

One thing I do is...

My install CD calls a batch file from my second hard drive during install. The apps get installed as if they were on the CD but they are not. This saves room on the CD. If you have two CD drives you could call the batch from the other CD.

In my RunOnceEx I have

FOR %%j IN (D E F G H I J K L M) DO IF EXIST %%j:\XP\install\External.cmd SET EXTRAS=%%j:

IF exist %EXTRAS%\XP\install\External.cmd REG ADD %KEY%\090 /VE /D "Adding External Programs" /f
IF exist %EXTRAS%\XP\install\External.cmd REG ADD %KEY%\090 /V 1 /D "%EXTRAS%\XP\install\External.cmd" /f

What I did:

Simple I made my own driverpacks using Driver Genius Pro, it has an update and backup fuction wich is perfect for making your own BTS custom driverpacks.

My ISO is now 688 megs

@ jaws75 there is an addon that does what u said http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1535

This 900 mb option is only available Sanyo's special drives. This would be fine if all possible machines on which this cd is likely to be used also have the same drive.

use nlite to remove things..

[ricktendo]

I found something like nLite that can make a unatended CD, add Ryans Update Packs and Addons and also split the ISO over multiple CDs. But its not as good as nLite.

Step 1 : Don't use nLite to add programs.

Step 2 : Read http://unattended.msfn.org to learn to do it yourself.
