Hi Jerome,

> LiveCD1 size is flexible...

Looking at your links (PS: typo "intalled") the current
list seems to be, in that order:

BASE, FDI, grep/head/du/sleep/tee/touch/which/less/trch/md5sum,
crc32, slowdown, doslfn, part, xfdisk, xdel, xkeyb, raread,
rawrite, edict, fdtui, fdnet, wget, links, mtcp, wcd, aefdisk.

That sounds quite small :-)

Also, the batch file apparently tries to create a disk in
the sizes 2G, 1G, 512M, 320M, 256M, 224M, 128M, 96M, 64M,
48M, 32M, 16M, but I do not really understand the batch.

Depending on the contents of fdlive 7z, it might be enough
to try fewer sizes? Maybe 896 MB, 448 MB, 192 MB, 96 MB,
48 MB, 24 MB: Powers of two minus at most 128 MB for apps.

Does that mean FDI equals FULL in that context?

If even that is at most 24 MB, all of the dynamic
size thing is more for trying to have more work
space and not really about having more packages?

It does not say which packages are in there, but 96 MB will
work even on 128 MB RAM :-) I thought the largest Live CD
might need 1 Gigabyte given the combined package sizes...?

True true *blush*
