As far as space goes, something up to 1GB (not 1GiB!) would be perhaps
best -- CD is too small and 1GB USB flash is the first bigger than that.
Also I heard than lzma compression will be used in the future for
compressing the spins, so we might actually gain some more free space.
That looks good, but not for F13 release. Maybe an update or for F14.
squashfs-tools should be there, but we also need 2.6.34 (which I can't
see happening for release) and a small change to livecd-creator.
For the games spin there is about a 10% savings when using lzma as compared
to zlib.
I am tracking the progress of this at:

There's a good chance it won't really be advertised as a feature, but I made
a feature proposal page for it just in case.
