pmcx9 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 My i386 directory is 346meg without lang etcrar (self extracting, silent, solid) up the entire contents of the $1 folder and have it extract to the hard disk first of all from your installs.cmdonly downside is can be slightly awkward to alter hotfixes,apps etc when you want to alter your core xpcd as packed in a rar file.Give us a list of your apps to see if anything can be slimmed down.

pmcx9 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I think OfficeXP has an IE5 directory that can be dumped and I found this;You can reduce the amount of space required by omitting unneeded folders such as the ORK, SharePt, and MSDE2000 folders. If all your users are running WindowsXP, you can also omit the OSP folder. The CAB file and core Office XP MSI file require approximately 230 MB of free space.I dont use NAV corp but I would suppose it may have an adobe folder in it that could be dumped?
