Well you need to tell us what version of PE your using?

Also how big is your PE at the moment?

Use DVD instead of CD. Additionally you may play a bit with the compression level of the winpe image.

sry, didnt read that boot is from network... you may also try different compression levels...

I think this wont work anyway (128MB RAM are too less, 256 may be enough for some apps)

Extract the wim image with imagex and use the peimg (dont really remember how its named something starting with p or so) to uninstall the packages you dont need (eg. XML, HTA,...) afterwards finish it with the same exe. In the end you can create a much more space saving image with imagex from it. Simply check the Windows AIK Manual (there you can see how to remove the packages and lower the space needed). Hope this helps a bit.
