Setting up a compressed folder on netbook with already poor performances is
not really a good idea.  If I could, I would solve the problem by putting
them at the right place, in the trash ! :)

For the suggestion about the temporary files on an external source, it's not
valid since I already decompressed the .exe into a network folder from which
I launch the msi installation by GPO.

I tried to launch manually the msi installer and followed the menus, I can
remove Base and Draw and other optional components.
What I would like to do is put those changes into an mst file so I can
deploy a lighter version of LibreOffice on those pieces of ±@££@!$!

God I hate those netbook :P

Objet : LibreOffice deployment on Windows

Hi,
  I just deployed LibreOffice on about 2000 computers to replace
OpenOffice.org.  I found a problem for some crappy netbook Windows XP with
small hardrive...  Even if I clean them up, I don't have enough space to
install libreoffice (openoffice.org is already uninstalled).

  I would like to know how to create an new mst to add my existing settings
and to remove base from the installation... maybe with a lighter
installation will pass...  I don't need to know how to create an mst, I just
want to know what to edit to remove base from the installation.  I can't
find where are the settings to do what I want to do in the property table.

Thanks,
Alexandre.
