to little space on install-cd

[Alexander Poslavsky]

Using one disk to install is a really good idea. Downloading 3/4 disk
just to install and then anyway web-update is silly afaik. But one
disk is not much. Would using squashfs an idea. It is by gentoo-livecd
for example.
http://squashfs.sourceforge.net/
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SquashFS-HOWTO/

from the link:
Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is
intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e.
in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block
device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
needed. The filesystem is currently stable, and has been tested on
PowerPC, i586, Sparc and ARM architectures.
it is at 2.0 and seems to be a mature project.
