I think this should answer your question ;-)

The boot.iso is way smaller, 64MB instead of 603MB for the 1st image.

Makes sense.

NB: please please please, again again again, when you send a mail to the list 
on a different topic:
1) use another subject
2) don't reply to a mail of another thread, write a new mail from scratch

This list is starting to get higher traffic and it's difficult enough to follow 
all the threads
already, so please do follow some common guidelines. Thank you.

cheers
