SquashFS?

[Dave Mack]

Take a look at YETAA (YET Another Adios). Provides about 2.2 GB of Fedora 4 
on a CD using squashfs and unionfs. Very cool. The yetaa-0.20 ISO on their 
site has booted in everything I've tried so far, including my ThinkPad. The 
0.30 release has a few bugs in the Makefile, but once you've corrected those 
it allows you to build your own FC4 live CD quite easily.
