What Dirs/Files can safely be removed for UA

[maxXPsoft]

cheers MC

worked just fine for me leaving just the wims and catalog files

A pleasure Max

I just wanted to reduce the bloat from my source further on a ua install.

[Innocent Devil]

Sources Directory need only the two files boot.wim and install.wim

it works fine on dvd boot UA

BTW does anyone know how to change the path and name of install.wim

ie "\Sources\install.wim" of default to somthin like "abcd\def.wim"

@ID

You are correct & I haven't disputed that if you see my second post....

Perhaps ID is suggesting that you don't even need the catalog files?

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

Thats also correct, but if you want to modify further with the waik you will need the catalogue files. My Idea Dobby, to remove many of the bloated files within not the p***y ones OK......

First of all this isnt the place to discuss vlite... but hey who am i......

Vlite doesnt remove everything, i mount the install.wim and remove everything by hand, like all example videos and music etc.

I only have boot.wim , install.wim and the .clg

folders : Boot, efi, and sources

So thx again MAVERICKS CHOICE , works fine for me.

[Dobby]

Hey calm down Mav. I was only pointing out what I thought he was talking about.

[Innocent Devil]

to further

for a BIOS based PC only two folders required

boot and sources (with right content)

efi, upgrade etc can be deleted

also

from boot directory etfsboot.com,memtest.exe,bootfix.bin and fonts folder can be removed

i m not sure abt the en-us folder, probably it can also be removed

[maxXPsoft]

kewl Innocent Devil

I'll try next go round

[Innocent Devil]

with sp1 der is no mui for bootsect.exe so en-us can be removed.

so boot dir will end up with bcd and boot.sdi

btw why m$ ships boot.wim with WinPE (boot.wim #1)and WinRE( with setup.exe)(boot.wim #2) ?

deleting winpe will not reduce the boot.wim size by much but still why so ??
