The uncompressed image has ~11gb and it would grow as you use it. |

However it should be easy to shrink that. |

The image has 3 (boot/swap/root) partitions, where the boot partition has |
| 5 |
32mb. If i'm correct you only have to create a new image, make 2 or 3 (depends |
| 6 |
if you need swap) partitions on it, where the first one (/boot) must have the |
| 7 |
same size like in the original image (means 32mb). |
| 8 |
Than you dd the boot partition and copy the files of the root partiton to your |
| 9 |
new image. The files should fit perfectly on a ~10gb hd too since they just need |
| 10 |
~1,5 gb. |

I could try it on my own, but than i would take some time... |
