I can't say I remember now how much it reduced, but I remember it being
around 65 MB when I was done with an ISO and the KNOPPIX file was
finished about 33% faster compressing than with Java.

Michael,

Your help is much appreciated. The reason I focused on the Xbox was the
cost to get one (ZERO in my case) since a friend gave me a dead one to
'fix'.

Second, the cost of electricity in Toronto has skyrocketed and the Xbox
consumes less than 60W in constant operation (based on average power
draw), so that's less than 1/4 of what a PC would consume at provides
good performance compared to the Network Attached storage slugs (733
MHz Celeron compared to a 266 MHz Intel xScale processor in most
cases)

Third, it was educational to do the conversion to a Linux PC, allowing
replacement of the hard drive and DVD-ROM to something better/bigger

Last, the box is quiet compared to a PC (like laptop quiet), so you can
place it anywhere, and still connect a television and USB peripherals
(with a home made adapter) such as a keyboard and mouse. But since SSH
is part of DSL/X-DSL, I can log in remotely and do system management,
have no television and only use the Xbox controller.

I look forward to hearing from you when you are back.

Cheers,

Squiff
