What is the breakdown of the ISO size? It's now 430MB - what are all those bits? (I ask because, as a new OS, I'd expect it to be really tiny since it's so new.

- jackpot51 9y ago- 64 MB - Preallocated kernel buffers - 256 MB - Live filesystem - The rest - Running applications
- javajosh 9y agoHey there, thanks for the response. Just DL'd the ISO and it's only 38MB. I think there is some ambiguity when you say "Lower Memory Usage" and then talk about "ISO size". I was expecting the download to be 430MB! Also, I ran the ISO in Virtual Box and it's far more than I thought it would be. It's not just a barebones kernel and shell, you actually included a simple window manager and some GUI applications! It booted nice and fast, too. Great work.
