That is great! No really. Congrats to you. I haven't yet gotten my knoppix smaller than 350MB, though I admit that I didn't try too hard.
the bad:
apt broke...when i go into aptitude it doesn't show the "Installed Packages" section
I think it happened during the cleanup phase of the scripts just before you do the compress_fs
I think I have seen that before myself. Either something broke, I experienced a aptitude bug, or umm I just remembered that there is way to change the view in aptitude from Status (installed, not installed, upgradeable) to Sections (Base, Communications, Development).
Perhaps that might help.
