That seems excessively big for a minimal install.  Perhaps some trimming
can be done.  Are man and info pages part of the livecd?

I wonder if using geom_uzip for the live filesystem would be an option.
I've used it extensively on flash media before, and I think FreeSBIE may
use it as well.  uzip also has other benefits as well such as faster
loading and less I/O to the CD.

I suppose it mostly depends on somebody stepping up and doing the work
to integrate it into the build scripts :)
