nfshp253 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hello, I am trying to reduce the size of the Snow Leopard install disk so that it will fit into a Single Layer DVD. I have successfully removed the Xcode package and I now want to remove the unnecessary printer drivers and extra languages. However, I can not open the containing mpkg to delete the individual unwanted pkgs inside. I have tried using Pacifist but it doesn't seem to have a delete option even though I can see all containing files. Anyone can tell me how to remove those unwanted packages?

You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone from the Install disk to a disk image or whatever. If you choose the "incremental backup...." option you can go through the items and tick/untick. It may be though that the install scripts will fail if you remove an item that the scripts think should be there.....so no guarantees but it is one way of stripping out the stuff you don't want at the package level. The actual installation stuff you will find by expanding system/installation/packages. There are no doubt other ways.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
