Also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Livecd-iso-to-disk.pod has more help information for the script. With VirtualBox3.2.6 in a Lynx 64-bit host and a Fedora 32-bit guest, I tested the Fedora-14 soas-i386-20100613.15.iso (no longer available, but should be similar to the builds at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/soas/) using this installation script, /LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 1000 --home-size-mb 200 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /dev/live /dev/sda1 The command, dmsetup status before and after yum install dkms gcc yielded these results: 21376/2048000 and 868152/2048000 (512-byte segments) So it looks like at least 425 MiBytes of overlay is required for that installation. then after ./VboxLinuxAdditions-x86.run dmsetup status showed 928872/204800 or 454 MiBytes of the overlay consumed. --Fred
