There's not really any technical specifications available, other than a myriad of blog links. http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/project_indiana_internals_short_overview gives a great overview of how the LiveCD is constructed. We have 2 available - one using gzip'd compression, and the other using LZMA. LZMA compresses smaller, so a few more languages have been added. However, it's also a slower install than the one using gzip. At some stage in the future, the distribution constructor project will be finished, allowing you to construct your own images - it's just not ready yet.
