[Fedora-livecd-list] Big size difference in i686 and x86_64 versions of KDE live images

[Sebastian Vahl]

Hi,

my KDE live images are showing a big size difference between the i686 and the 
x86_64 images (around 40 megs). The slighlty different package list couldn't 
explain this (i.e. atlas-sse (i686) vs. atlas (x86_64) is the only important 
difference).
So I've compared the sizes of the installed packages (rpm -qa --qf "%{name} 
{size}\n" | sort -nr). Many packages are different in size but the kernel does 
have the biggest difference:
i686: 78453688
x86_64: 103736431

A test spin of the GNOME images doesn't show  this difference (only 2 megs).


Does anybody has an explanation for this?
Or can somebody try to create a x86_64 version for comparison (with livecd-
creator and spins-kickstarts from git)?

Sebastian
