XP w/SP2 sysprep CD image



I've been creating Windows 2000 images on cd for my company for a year
and half. We are now finally getting to XP and I'm having issues with
the size. It would appear the base image, before I've added drivers
and any other apps or scripts is 699MB. My sysprep package is atleast
150MB and another 100MBs for apps ascripts, so I know this will put my
image over the 700MB limit of cds. I'm wondering anyone else is
deploying images via cd still and if so how many cds they are using.

I'm using ghost 8.2 corp version to create the image and I'm using an
unattended script to build the initial base.

We're currently not using RIS because we don't have the infrastructure
for all our remote sites.
