Please help me slash LionInstall.app to create a CLEAN(er) 'clean' install package...

These are the kernel extensions which are loaded with both the Netboot Image and the AppStore package.


I have a new Intel MacBook Air 13". Not sure why I need ATI or Nividia graphics on my MacBook but I have no need for modifications or 'upgrades'. I need to downgrade the ridiculous OS installation package, because 260,000 files is more than I need. I think I need less than 5000 but I hope to see.


Can you help me rip the junk out of the thing? In Red, are things I'm 95% certain I don't need. The Black ones, I'm unsure about. I got a lot more lists coming. And comments or advice appreciated..

The "Install Mac OS X Lion" app appears to be comprised of callback (?) files or something - I mean, when I open it, there's hardly anything there to delete. I'm not sure how it pulls all the junk in, but I found this CodeResources file which looks kinda suspect.

goscuter1,

I am excited to see your post,wishing I had seen it in the beginning of December.I have been going through the same process as you only without quite so much computer knowledge. I would love to see, hear,find out if you ever had any luck fiquering all this out ? I have owned my iMac for less than 8 months and have loaded the Lion OSX, not joking around 125 or so times. Almost every problem you point out I have encountered. I figure I spent about 10 months prior to my iMac fighting Windows madness.Can you please respond to this ? I would love to pick your brain, compare war stories, just talk to someone who won't think I've gone completely insane would be so nice for once. Please. I have been on here (some good help) for advice and to the genius bar (absolutely no help) Genius bar answer for everything is to reload an operating system that I have to disect.
