iirc the size of the file needs to be at least a certain number... so you might need to leave them in for compatibility (hence the hashes at the end).

Important to know if true, but that would also be one of the dumbest design flaws I could think of to inflict on a user ....

I would not use lowram, hence tryinig to start X windows on a 16MB machine.

If the design goal is to only run a script (dd ...) to do a backup between drives, then runlevel 2 would be much better.

Boot the cd, script runs without any user intervention. Upon completion of your dd backup script, machine shutdowns ejecting your custom CD.
