If you just choose an alternate location at installation time, it's only
a minor part of the files that are relocated. Something like 1.6 GB ends
up on the system disk if you install everything.
If you change the registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/ProgramFilesDir
you can force quite a lot to a second disk.
You still get some files in %SystemRoot%. As I recall, the main bulk of
this ends up in the Installer directory. I think you can change some
registry setting to have the Installer directory elsewhere, but I would
recommend that you think twice before you make this step. On a new
machine it may be less of an issue, but if you already have stuff there,
you may mess up other programs.
SP1 takes an even heavier toll on the Installer directory.
