Is this not the OS minimum size, not the minimum size for a zpool?

If it is the OS minimum size, where does that information come from?

I know with a CD, the estimated size is stored in a 'dot-file' but how would one
determine this minimum size for an AI type install where it's all dependent on
the packages to be installed.

It would seem to be something that the 'Transfer' module could provide, but I
think it would be quite time-consuming to actually determine a real value.

What would be an acceptable 'estimate'?

Thanks,

Darren.
