Hi,

I was wondering if vLite (or any other means) supports to add a command line command (mklink) after the typical disk format (during installation process) and before Vista installs itself on the new formatted PC/disk.

Reason: I would like to install Vista on a duo-disk (4GB+12GB) configuration by linking some of the to be large folders on C: with mklink command to a physical folder on the second disk. This reduces the need on C: (only 4GB) for space, by putting some typical large folders physically on the second disk (12GB), while for Windows it looks like they still are on C:.

My preference is to be able to create these folder links before these folders are filled with data during install.
Otherwise I'm not sure if I'll be able to install on 4GB without space errors.

Alternatively I should mklink my links, move files, rename links etc, after install and that is - although maybe possible - something that seems more difficult and time consuming.

By the way, I'm thinking about mklink-ing these folders:
C:\Windows\winsxs
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
C:\Program Files
C:\Users

Thanks for your ideas!
