is a stop ship. We're 43~megs over size. That's not a small amount.
This may have been brought up before, but I don't see archives of it so
it may have been IRC only.
http://jkeating.fedorapeople.org/alpha2beta-live-diff has a listing of
the package differences between Alpha and Beta. I would really
appreciate some help looking for something to cut for size, since you
guys are supposed to own this config now.

and

are the configs used.
Not that it's much by way of disk size, but it looks like a lot of the X
libs got measurably bigger for no particularly good reason. libXrandr,
for example, got almost 40% bigger purely because the ChangeLog in
%doc got three times bigger.
Do we care that much about including these? I can't see that they're
worth much even on a real system.
In related news, the rpm changelog for initscripts is over 100k and goes
back to 1997, which does affect disk size since the live image includes
a real rpmdb. glibc is even worse at about 120k, though it only goes
back to 2000.
