One other thing that I noticed a while back that takes up a chunk of
space is the kernel... it's included inside install.img (in two places
even, although I assume it's hardlinked?), even though it has to have
already been loaded before install.img can be read.
What two places? On rawhide we have one on the iso under /images/pxeboot/
and another inside the install.img under /usr/lib/modules...
I think I tried removing the kernel from the install.img at one point,
but it ended up being required for FIPS (see
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/issues/1021). And when there were 2
kernels on the iso they were hardlinked (one under pxeboot and the other
under isolinux).
