[Casper] Tips on shrinking netboot image

Greetings.

I was wondering if any of you have tips on shrinking the netboot image  
that Casper Imaging runs off of.  I made a minimal leopard install  
(ie. OS with no printer drivers, languages, or X11) and created a  
netinstall set with Casper NetInstal Creator 2.02 (from the Resource  
Kit).  The resulting spareimage file in the .nbi directory is 6.76 GB.

On an iBook G4 that I've netbooted in verbose mode, it is saying, "uid  
0 on /private/tmp: file system full", and it seems plausible that a  
smaller netinstall set might alleviate this.

Cheers,
Clinton Blackmore
