Hi, hope someone can help I've created a All in One DVD, which currently is 10GB and am spliting into 2 but would like to know if I can delete the i386 folders that have been copied from the o/s folder to the root? Or is there another way to optimize (Sp?) the iso file to make it smaller. I used MagicISO to create the all in one.

Any help will be grateful.

Thanks

It depends on the actual CONTENT of the AIO.
There are utilities, namely CDIMAGE from Microsoft, cdrecord and mkisofs (FREEWARE) that can "hardlink" identical files, i.e. if a certain same file is present in the image in several different folders, those tools will substitute EVERY other occurence of the file but the first one with a link pointing to the first one.
As the "link" takes just a few bytes, this can dramatically reduce the size of the ISO.
