the size of core-dual iso has been over 700MB for a while. the last one is 738MB. See http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/2011.04.30/
what would be the best way to fix this? different archiso2dual parameters? different compression somewhere? revised packagelist? moving some packages out of core? [is anyone aware of noticeable size increases of the core repo or core packages?] I will change the default -c from gzip to xz in fews minutes. (There is no autodetection) Do we have xz-compressed squashfs already? yes. These images can still be written to DVD or USB, so they are not entirely useless.
Sure. Personally, I always use DVD-R even for smaller things in these days, bah! usb-keys. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
