I think sometimes yes. I *like* that it fits on a (moderately large)
USB key, not only for my convenience but because I know that it
probably raises fewer eyebrows for other folks in need of some of
those tools. Why I'd like to see it slimmed down is because I suspect
some of our more OSD users (oppressed/suppressed/depressed) probably
can't afford a 1GB USB key. Though blank CDs are plentiful and cheap,
I suspect they have more potential to raise suspicions in different
locales.

I'm here because of the creative aspect of Jaromil's vision. There
are a lot of toolkits out there to tear it all down. It's nice to see
one about remaking it all.
