I've made an OEM tarball now (to be tested). I made it with and for my separate One Button Installer, and it is in OEM user mode (not yet prepared for the end user), because it is also a 'backup' of this system. It is bigger, but not that much, It seems small enough for an iso file within CD size. Current version in the pre-beta iso file (size MB 10-base) 378 MB ToriOS-i386.tar.xz My OEM tarball 392 MB ToriOS-oem-b1.tar.xz Difference 14 MB and the iso file is 677 Mibibytes, with a margin of 23 Mibibytes approx 24 MB (10-base) to 700 Mibibytes. >> *Installation with meta packages* >> >> Another alternative is particularly good for people who want special >> partitioning or other special features.
