The percentages you give are '''very''' misleading! You compare compressed debugging information to uncompressed executables, but on the live images, '''everything''' is compressed with xz, so the hit on the live images is much larger! (43 MiB would mean over 6% of the total available space!) And live images are where size really matters. So please note the strong disapproval of this feature by the de-facto maintainer of the KDE Live CD. (The official maintainer, Sebastian Vahl, is nowhere to be found, but I doubt he'd approve of it either.) | |||
