I got the image down to 230M by switching to TWM as a window manager. TWM sucks but I do not really need any window manager, TWM+startx just get me Xorg up and running with practically no configuration nor hacking. I am not sure you can as low with XFCE (if yes please report your success here). You will find this blog very relevant: http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2009/03/20/why-minimal-is-225-mb/ In the archive of this list you will also find a very small patch I wrote that increases the log level of yum. This is very useful to understand why package X or Y is pulled as a dependency. -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
