This frees up another 36.6 megs. All together that saves you @ 200 megs...
the alternative of course is to run the remove addon options like I did and take out 60 megs of crap I don't care about such as windows search 4.0, the windows remote management framework junk (powershell, etc), browerchoice (it doesn't do anything anyway, but it saves like 200k), and .net 4.0 (not much stuff uses it and its easy to install afterwards anyway)
I, like some others prefer to keep those "unnecessary" folders to preserve some resemblance of an "original" install disc, so that's why I do it this way... if I can get the final ISO down to 722mb, I can barely overburn a CD-R
using the "optimize files" function in rvm helps out a lot too
but as always, you can always burn this stuff to a DVD-R and never worry about getting rid of anything
