Then I want to split what remains into the equivelent files for the various CD the CD version comes on. I know its possible because at least one person made mention on the board before about it.

I would like to meet that person .

Now seriously, removing MSDN part from the DVD-type of installation would mean not only identifying what files are part of it, but also updating the installation script. God knows if it's a regular Windows Installer script or tweaked MS version of it.

And even then you would have to find out the differences in file names, sizes etc. between what was there (default MSDN) and what you have (MSDN 2004)...
