From the Creating a TeraByte Recovery Environment, WinRE Boot Disc, or UFD Containing Image for Windows (TBWinRE) and Creating a TeraByte WinPE Boot Disc Containing Image for Windows (TBWinPE) tutorials
Optional: The Image for Linux CD Boot files will be included if installed.
Why would I want to have an option to include such boot files?

and then

From the removecdboot.tbplg
[Description]
This plugin removes the cdboot files for Image for DOS and Image for Linux from the build, which will result in a smaller WIM file.
Why would I want to remove such files now included?

I think the space is somewhere around 50MB, but it can vary depending on multiple things. By default, these will be included in the build if they exist so that they're available if backups are burned to CD/DVD/BD discs (the disc will boot to IFL). For installed WinRE builds, they may not be added even if they exist if there is insufficient space available.

The plugin will remove the files from the build if they are in it. This may be useful in some cases, but is also an example showing a simple plugin operation making file changes.
