Vlite questions...

So I am going to be getting a 250 GB 7200 rpm drive for my notebook. It has a 120 GB 5400 rpm drive.

I have heard great things about Vlite, so basically, how does it work?

I download and run it on my current working system? Do I need my Vista 64 disk? Then I use my DvD burner to burn a new disk that installs Vista with less crud?
 
It allows the removal of crud from the dvd iso before installing like languages that you don't need and media center not being needed on a laptop. It also has some tweaks as well. You will need your current dvd because it needs to copy files from it and then build a new ISO file that you burn to a DVD.

Just to be clear though - theres very, very little that effects performance that you can remove using vlite that you cant just disable in vista. And you will not be able to install SP2 whenever it comes out without reformatting.

On the other hand, vlite can reduce the size of the iso and the install drastically, so it can be particularly useful if youre installing to a very small HD like a SSD.

Also nice if you use Acronis or Ghost and want smaller image sizes.
