It looks like we waste too much time on these size issues.
In general, we really should move to isolinux and, as we no
longer sell official CDs, we should not bother of ISO image
size any more - instead of that, we may want to hurry with
official support for installation from USB flash drive (my
investigation revealed that will require only some changes
in owl-startup package).
