I know we all want to keep below the 50Meg limit, and I was wondering what people have tried to make that happen. I had two thoughts.The first was to try < freedups >, which reduced the 0.9.2 iso by 97K. Not a lot, but hey, every little bit counts. My second thought was to re-order the files that get fed into create_compressed_fs. That way, there would be a better chance that a 64K block would be all text or all uncompressable. I'm not sure how to change the order that files are saved into the iso. I've read that iso's have a standard (files in alphabetical order), but do compressed file systems need that restriction? |
