Ypsos Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 create a SFX file place under Under commend for example: (if you want to add you favorites shortcuts to menu start)Path=%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Menu Start\ProgramsSilent=2Overwrite=1Works with variables; %ProgramFiles% %SystemRoot% %SystemDrive% %Temp% %username% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcx9 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 not sure you need this advice with the number of posts you have but;when making the rar choose "create solid archive" and "best compression method" to reduce size.Also rar as many files/folders into one as possible ie rar whole apps directory and extract as one.also check through yours apps to dump uneccessary bits; nav2003 and adobe6 etc can be extensively streamlined.And I assume you have already dumped as much from Winxp as possible?

DaveXP Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 ok i did the office as a solid archive and now i need to get 126MB more off the install folder so i got 30MB back from the new archive so that was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Have you removed the LANG folder from the i386? Not needed for us brits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 i was thinking about it but dont you need to edit some inf files first or something Thanks for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numinous Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 im sure you can rar twice for more compression.. you need to add all files and dirs into an uncompressed rar then add that into another rar using full compression.. worth a try, proly only talking a few kb though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanatos Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 create a SFX file place under Under commend for example: (if you want to add you favorites shortcuts to menu start)Path=%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Menu Start\ProgramsSilent=2Overwrite=1Works with variables; %ProgramFiles% %SystemRoot% %SystemDrive% %Temp% %username%%userprofile% would be better, I use an SFX archive to unzip to %userprofile% and i have subdirectories inside there, favourites etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
