To give people an idea of the minimum possible filesize, here is a
standard install of ubuntu 6.10-server in a 63 MB package:
http://www.jcinacio.com/stuff/VMware-UbuntuServer-6.10/
The actual extracted size is 365MB.
I just took his image, installed cat-in-a-box, made a sample
catalyst app,
ran the server, and used the app from another machine on the local
network. Without doing anything tricky, I simply zipped up that
image and
it came out to be 96 MB. If I used strong compression, it came out
to 76
MB. However, I think stronger compression defeats the point of
this being
a susposedly easy package to deploy.
I'll see if I can put together a nice ~150MB package. I don't know
if the
catalyst site can host that, or wants to, but I'll send it to whoever
wants it.
I'd suggest using pimpmycat or a standard cat-install approach rather
than catinabox; catinabox is really designed for compiler-challenged
systems (i.e. windows :) whereas in ubuntu a usable build environment
is one 'apt-get build-essential' away
