ISO size breakdown? ISO diff?

[giovanni_re]

Great work, Amedee :)  

1) I wish you'd use an English program ;)  - Is that apt & mount & etc all with re-written language parts??? How cool - how much of those commands have had their language translated??? 

2)  Yes, a list of the largest files would be a start toward what i was asking about, so good to do if someone can figure out how.  A further step would be if someone could figure out a way to group them by the sw package they are associated with - maybe some kind of mapping from the apt system that lists files associated with programs???

3)  I really think creating this size breakdown is likely to be easiest by the people who create the (K)Ubuntu ISOs.  Just ask the compilers to print out a summary of the sum total of the sizes for each application program it compiles, & for the GNOME & KDE systems.

Anyone know who is the KUbuntu person who decides what SW packages go onto the KU ISO???
