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 :) Craig
