[Casper] Image too big?

[Ernst, Craig S.]

That's what I was wondering...why is it so big? Are you talking just your base OS package or everything that gets installed with Casper Imaging? Are you caching packages locally then I assume?

My OS is around 3.57GB. I've stripped out printer drivers to be packages installed later as needed, as well as the languages.

Are you imaging from a Restore partition or while NetBooted?

Our base (somewhat monolithic) image has gotten too big to put on a 40GB hard drive.  The compressed image file is just over 13GB and is around 25GB once installed.  We are imaging with Casper Imaging using both standard imaging and multicast streams.  Both are having this same problem.  Is there any easy fix to this?  Obviously the 25GB image will work on a 40GB drive, but I no longer have an easy way to get the image onto the drive.
