On the author's system at the time of writing this, the above configuration produced a 95Mbyte image. This compares favourably with the 182Mbyte image produced by the default configuration in {Tutorial 1}#tutorial-1.
-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-pae"}#. Leaving off APT's indices with #{--apt-indices false}# also saves a fair amount of space, the tradeoff being that you need to #{apt-get update}# before using apt in the live system. Dropping recommended packages with #{--apt-recommends false}# saves some additional space, at the expense of omitting some packages you might otherwise expect to be there, such as /{firmware-linux-free}/ which may be needed to support certain hardware. #{--memtest none}# prevents the installation of a memory tester. And finally, the execution of the #{minimal.chroot}# hook removes some unused packages and files.

Using other hooks, like for example the #{stripped.chroot}# hook found in #{/usr/share/doc/live-build/examples/hooks}#, may shave off additional small amounts of space and produce an image of 76MB. But it is up to you to decide if the functionality that is sacrificed with each size optimization is worth the loss of functionality.
