Hi VastOne,
Congratulations on Velociraptor release! 8)
I am still messing with my Debian Sid/Awesome distro release and I am wondering how to minimize the ISO size.
I have tried bleachbit and localepurge but get stuck at about 800MB ISO size.
Are there some deep cleaning tips I might be missing?
Cheers,
Neil
Hi mrneilypops and thanks!
What are you using to remaster?
Are you using -xy comp?
Is it a base system?
What apps are do you have as default?
Here is a link for discussions on removing cruft that helped quite a bit recently (http://vsido.org/index.php?topic=538.msg6495#msg6495)

I did manage to get to around 700MB with my earlier Jessie 'distrolet'.
I have now moved to Sid as a base with Awesome WM.
There are not many default apps...(about the same as in my Jessie test).
I am using -xy comp (Refracta set up option)
Thanks for the link that was just what I was after 8)
SUB 700MB would be great... I will keep you updated.
I dabbled with refracta but could never get it to remaster to the same size as remastersys on the same system. It was always 100 MiB larger than remastersys and I was never able to solve why...
Good luck!
Interesting point VastOne...I will bear that in mind...
