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?
