are directly contradicting: you first pump up the log size with "-x",
but you actually want less data to transfer.

You cannot have both. Classic syslog didn't have "-x", only journalctl
has. If you use it your log output becomes larger, but you think that's
bad and prefer the size of classic syslog there? Then don't use this new
feature!

You can invoke it easily from a livecd. Just mount the journal
directory, and invoke journalctl -D on it, and you see its contents,
nicely interleaved.

auto-search for journal? What is that supposed to be?

Hmm? You can easily compress it on your own, exactly the same as for
classic syslog.
