It might make sense to backtrack to a bare minimal system and then add items one by one in priority order until we run out of space. The bare minimum is just enough to compile and run a full release. Filesystem priority I had in mind is roughly something like:
0) minimal base system (no X11) 1) minimal non-pro editor (nano) 2) minimal dev tools (gcc, cmake, make, svn) 3) source checkout 4) pro editors (vim, emacs, not jedit or ide) 5) X11 + minimal window manager (maybe xfce or fluxbox) 6) preconfigured but empty cmake build dir 7) Bullet & Qt (maybe w/ KDE) 8) /usr/brlcad install Most live cd distros provide 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 and come in under 650MB. Adding 3 and 6 gives that bare minimum I mentioned and should be under 1.3GB. Adding 8 should be around 2.3-2.8GB. Pushing tight, we should be able to come in near 2GB. Even relaxed should be under 3GB. Anywhere in between would be perfectly reasonable. Thoughts? Cheers!
