I agree Israel,

With such a stripped down live session, there is no reason to keep the 
settings manager.

I don't think that the OBI is using ztweaks. How should it use it? It is 
there is 'firstrun' and in the menu, but not in the OBI-installer. Maybe 
you are thinking of some other script, for example zmktbl (which we 
should keep).

If you remove mkusb you can also remove the packages that mkusb depends 
on (unless used by other packages, that you keep. For example, the 
OBI-installer uses zenity, so you cannot remove it). Is there still an 
option to run the OBI-installer with dialog in text mode?

I started a test to find the highest possible compression of the 
tarball. It does need more RAM (65 MiB compared to standard which I 
think is 8 MiB, which might be a disadvantage for very low RAM) ... It 
seems you already have the highest possible compression, -9e.

How well have you cleaned the tarball? Can any big chunk be removed from 
it - what has the lowest priority in relation to its size?

Best regards
