[Casper] Tips on shrinking netboot image

[Clinton Blackmore]

Three updates to this problem:

- Using the NetInstall Creator 3.0 from the June 2009 resource kit  
will allow the system to netboot.
- I've been told that having unnecessary files in your netboot image  
does not actually slow down the bootup process.
- It turns out this machine only had 128 MB of RAM.  I'm amazed it  
would boot into Leopard at all!
