But, how much would the ISO be able to be compressed? The source is
already a split, compressed tarball, for example...

I think we should use bzip2 to compress the images. Someone should
try to compress the images using gzip, and then bzip2, and compare the
file sizes. Bzip2 is an awesome compression program, but I understand
that gzip is better at compressing certain things for a small number
of cases. Use the -v option to both, and see what it reports for the
compression %'age.
