I'm currently have an issue where I've builtan base image that is about 6gb
in size and can be compressed onto a single dvd.

I've found though that during the latest image update with the imaging
utility I use that the images finally went over the 4.7GB, but what I also
found out was that my installer folder was like 2GB.

We don't re-install applications here it's quicker just to-reimage and for
the most part our workstations are quite stable, but on the same note I've
had some really bad experience using the microsoft installer clean up
utility.

I was hoping someone might have an better way to deal with this.

Thanks,

Have you used the MSIZAP option?
