You could try using LiveMagic to build it instead of pulling from git... Alternatively - I have a general purpose rescue USBKey based on a minimal, lightly modified, Wheezy.

(the partimage of the USBkey is 128MB) Cheers -- Iceweasel/Firefox extensions for finding answers to Debian questions:- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/Scott_Ferguson/debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
