Hi Folks, The present LiveCD contents can be better compressed to free up several tens of MBs more. Firstly Distro Constructor is calling lofiadm -C <filename> whereas it should call lofiadm -C gzip-9 <filename>. Even while compressing the microroot gzip -9 should be invoked.
Secondly 7Zip (p7zip package) has the ability to compress in Gzip format but achieve better compression than Gzip itself. The resulting archive can be extracted by gunzip and does not impact decompression time. However lofiadm will need to be enhanced with a new algorithm type: gzip-7z In addition the archive file can also be compressed with 7za. Regards, Moinak.
