Hey Jimmy,

do you - by any chance - remember what you altered?
What did you deselect?

I just created a bootable disk with vlite and deselected some items I
definitely don't need (like chinese and japanese language packs) and I'm
going to give it a try - probably tomorrow.

I first want to make another full backup!

;-))

Keep you posted!

Mike

PS: Where are you?
Germany here!
