I have submitted a feature request (allow with a patch to
implement the
feature) for livecd-creator to use udf instead of iso9660 so that
the

(the lowest maximum size for standard sized disks is 4.7GB) adding
about
400MB of compressed space. This could also be used to create much
larger
spins for use on live usb's.
I'm not against allowing udf, but we should probably use iso9660
unless
the size forces us to need udf just to avoid problems on as many
systems
as we can.
So something that checked the size of the mksquashfs and switched
automatically
between the two and emitting a message about this could be acceptable?
I don't really know python yet, so I may not be able to easily change
my previous patch to do that, but want to check before going down
that road.
Yep, exactly what I'm thinking. And it should be a fairly straight
forward matter of doing os.stat on the squashfs and then looking at
the size from that
