heh, well, maybe not:

[root@inode e2fsprogs]# dumpe2fs -h /mnt/test/livecd-creator-imagefile |
grep "Block count"
dumpe2fs 1.41.5 (23-Apr-2009)
Block count:              578640
[root@inode e2fsprogs]# resize/resize2fs.static -P
/mnt/test/livecd-creator-imagefile
resize2fs 1.41.5 (23-Apr-2009)
Estimated minimum size of the filesystem: 9171138

The estimated minimum size is 16x the current size.

So much for that plan, at least without a bit more work.
