You can use an un-documented lorax config file to set things, defaults
are here:
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/blob/master/src/pylorax/__init__.py#L111
pass the new config with '-c lorax.cfg'
A while back (year or two) I fiddled with settings and didn't find much
of an improvement.
The real problem here, as you have pointed out, is too much data.
There's just not much that can be done when more and more files are
crammed into the boot.iso
At one time I even experimented with a text-only installer image. IIRC
it only ended up being around 40M smaller so I gave up on that idea.
But now that this has come up again I wonder if there is some usefulness
to a no-firmware image for virt installs where none(?) of the
firmware files are used.
