To REALLY Speed up MBA System installation
Authored by: Deut3221 on Fri, Feb 22 2008 at 11:05AM PST

1) Get rid of the bloatware wasting your HD.
2) Sell your other Macs.
3) Take the extra coins and buy (a) USB powered drive, like one of the new LaCies (handy for large music libraries); and (b) an Apple MBA USB superdrive.

Just attach the USB drive to your MBA and presto! that will REALLY speed up the install.
