But I can see wanting to make sure the most current stuff is there. I think iLife is an easier package to clean out the garbage anyway.<BR>

I did a full iLife 08 install and then ran system update to get the updates and composer is now compiling everything into one package. I think want to split them up into separate packages afterward. I remember doing this last year, but that was a year ago... My memory is typically pretty good but I am failing on this scenario. Must be that I am finally getting old?<BR>

You can also break out the other resources per application to keep it trimmer. So items in Library/Application Support/iDVD, iMovie,iPhoto, etc.<BR>
<BR>
The iDVD themes are about 800MB on their own. So Do what Sean has here, and if you want to go a step further bundle the support files with the individual applications as well.<BR>

The quickest and easiest way to do this is to create the Composer package with all the apps installed, and simply pull out the Applications themselves, build and deploy them as seperate packages.<BR>
<BR>
Your required package would contain all the core files and inital preferences.<BR>
<BR>
Your other packages would simply contain /Applications/iPhoto.app/ and iWeb.app, etc.<BR>
