-The biggest space-saver here, compared to building a standard image on an #{i386}# architecture system, is to select only the #{486}# kernel flavour instead of the default #{-k "486 686"}#.

The remaining options shave off additional small amounts of space. It's up to you to decide if the functionality that is sacrificed with each optimization is worth the loss in functionality.
