No problem. Glad to be helpful, even if I did reply to a post from 9 months ago 
Great tutorial, btw. Creating technical writing that is intuitive and isn't overly verbose is an extremely rare skill that you definitely have.

Be sure to check 'Solid Archive' in 7zip, otherwise it'll be much bigger than the original.
This minor tip should be mentioned somewhere in the tutorial. I spent a good hour trying different compression settings and methods and the re-compressed file was always 25-50% larger than the original, even after removing 80% of the stuff!
Solid definitely makes a difference.

Re: Can I safely remove unused drivers from the DriverPacks? (4 replies, posted in Frequently Asked Questions)
Whew. Excellent! After witnessing the unspeakable coolness of these packs, I was hoping that was the case. Thanks for the reply! I'll give 'em a try now. Nice job compiling all that stuff, btw.

Topic: Can I safely remove unused drivers from the DriverPacks? (4 replies, posted in Frequently Asked Questions)
Sorry if this has been asked, but I didn't find anything in the FAQ or anywhere else in the forums. If there's a post related to this, please let me know the link.
Basically, is it possible to remove all the unneeded drivers from the pack to save space? And if so, are there any special precautions needed to not remove something important? Since every driver is in its own folder, it would seem (to me, anyway) that I could be able to just remove those folders that won't apply to my hardware. So, just wanted to know before I actually try it. Anyone know? The reason I ask is, I'm currently working on an XP build that's going on DVD, and after all my junk, I've *just* enough space left (90-120MB) for the drivers I'll be needing, but not for all the extra drivers in the packs.
Mods: Please consider adding this question to the FAQ. Since most people are making 700MB CD installs, I think it's forseeable more than a few would want to know if/how the packs could be trimmed.
Thanks in advance,
KZ
