Hi Wart,

Good to see someone is looking after the Spin !!

The first thing todo about the size issues is to increase the size of the root 
partition, so make the number at the end of this line larger:
part / --size 8000

Say for example 12000, then the dvd image should atleast build and depending on 
how good the compression works might still fit on a 4.3 Gb single layer dvd 
(which I doubt) once we have a too large iso we atleast have a ballpark idea of 
how much we need to shave of. For starters drop vegastrike as that is 
absolutely *huge*.

Regards,

Hans
