I recommend losing some large unused app blobs that nobody needs on a
Live CD. I don't know what you've got in there, but I recommend you
throw out stuff like image editing software and the like. A Live CD is
primarily for installation and rescue, not for regular work.

Sure, I think the OI people should weigh in on the hosting issue here,
I'm sure they can give you some space where you can upload your work for
others to access and test. Hardware resources are cheap compared to the
hard time-consuming work by volunteers like you.
