You could also save similar amounts by only shipping either the postscript or pdf version of docs and not both. (more if you ship 1 of html,ps,pdf)On Feb 22, 2005, Elliot Lee <sopwith@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

An alternative approach is to adopt the Knoppix compressed file system.
Knoppix manages to get about 2.3Gig on a single CD.
The .rpm packages are already compressed, so a compressed file system won't help here. Thanks for thinking outside the box, though!
Talking of compressing stuff... Couldn't we perhaps compress the hdlist and hdlist2 files in Fedora/base? Could we perhaps merge the contents of hdstg2.img and netstg2.img that, given their similar size, might be assumed to contain mostly the same contents? And how about stage2.img, if that's a superset? This certainly wouldn't get us the 300MB we need, but it could get us 5-15% of that.
There really are some easy to get size savings around that don't entail dropping packages.
