1. /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive , from glibc-all-langpacks - this is

224M uncompressed. A quick test just compressing the file with xz on my system shows it compresses to around 11M, though, so that's probably all it adds up to after compression (the image is an xz-compressed squashfs)

Isn't the compression block-based? I think it would be interesting to measure the image size with the file removed.

For the non-live installer, we can *significantly* cut down its size, without degrading localization of the installer itself.

2. /usr/lib64/libLLVM-15.so, which is 114M on its own, compresses to

23M. We are, I think, basically stuck with this for mesa-dri-drivers , but does it have to be so *big*?

It has all the targets in it. As it's for JIT, we'd only need one target.

Thanks, Florian
