 *** Size Estimate
-- Core recovery tools: ~50MB
-- Network diagnostics: ~80MB
-- ClamAV (optional): ~150MB
+- Core recovery tools (no ClamAV/Wireshark): ~90MB
+- With ClamAV: +150MB
+- With Wireshark CLI: +50MB
 - GUI tools (optional): ~20MB
 - Total estimate: ~150-300MB additional
+- Current ISO size: 5.1GB
+- Projected size with all tools: ~5.4GB
+
+*** Discussion Notes
+- SystemRescue is also Arch-based, making it a good reference for package names
+- Hiren's BootCD PE is now Windows-based, but older Linux version had good tool selection
+- Most recovery scenarios need: testdisk, ddrescue, chntpw, smartmontools, ntfs-3g
+- For Windows malware scanning, ClamAV is the standard open-source option
+- Consider: could offer two ISO variants (minimal vs full rescue)
 
 *** Questions to Resolve
 - Include ClamAV? Adds ~150MB but very useful for Windows malware scanning
-- Include Wireshark CLI (tshark)? Adds ~50MB
-- Keep ISO under specific size target?
+- Include Wireshark CLI (tshark)? Adds ~50MB for network forensics
+- Keep ISO under specific size target (e.g., 6GB for single-layer DVD)?
 - Add GUI tools or keep it minimal/CLI-focused?
+- Create separate "rescue" build profile or add to main ISO?
+- Priority order for implementation?
