I did bzip2 without any flags and it compressed to 710 MB--not 
really worth the trouble of having to decompress on the receiving 
end.  Same result with standard "zip".  I think this thing is 
already pretty compressed.  When remastersys is creating the .iso, 
it runs a program called "squash," (I think that's what it's 
called) which is why it's only 717 MB instead of the 2.7 GB that 
it becomes when installed on the hard drive.
