Mad,

In other news, my rebuild of the stock KDE spin using the kickstarts from spin-kickstarts came out to be 1.6 GB in size. My own remix is under 1.8 GB in Fedora 15 but on Fedora 16 it is around 2.1 GB. With Fedora 15 they switched to xz compression... and it saved a lot of space. Something is really out of whack with the compression now.
That seems like a premature conclusion. Packages get more features and grow bigger and get more dependencies.
While that is true... that packages get bigger and more deps are added... that does NOT explain why the stock kickstart KDE spin I built would be 1.6 GB vs. the 697 MB iso Fedora releases. Nor does it explain an increase of about 300 MB (compressed) in my remix... but I'll keep looking for clues.
Going over 2G might reveal bugs in some tools. That could perhaps explain the isohybrid error you mentioned.
True that.
TYL,
