That doesn't leave much room for the live OS on the disk. I'm not sure I was clear enough when I responded. So, just for the record; I meant the ISO data itself, not the image per se; that is, not disc-1.iso.txz. But rather mounting a compressed file system. Be it bz2, or xz(1). I seem to remember tar(1) providing examples about creating/mounting compressed archives as iso images, and then writing them as an iso image, that can be later burned to CD/DVD. Another option that I employ, when creating CD/DVD images, is to take a dump(8) of the data I intend to create the image of. This method removes the "slack" from the data/files/dirs, before writing the image -- all the nodes are contiguous, end-for-end. So there is no wasted space. > > -- > Allan Jude --Chris
