Comment(by mungewell):

 Personally my feelings are that SOAS should be the absolute minimum disk
 size, the reason for this is that not all areas have good connectivity and
 even downloading a few hundred MBytes can be a problem.

 If it is installed on a USB with large enough peristance file/partition,
 is there any reason the Fedora equivilant of 'sudo apt-get install gnome-
 desktop' wouldn't work?

 GDM itself has a pretty low footprint so that that would (IMHO) be OK,
 however jumping out of X to GDM causes the problem of system user names
 (LiveCD/USB normally has a fixed one for first user).

 With a compress LiveCD filesystem (such as Casper) we should be able to
 fit an awful lot onto a 512MByte or 1GByte USB key.

 Simon.
