[SOLVED] Building source code will result in large img/iso file sizes

[packet loss]

Initially wanted to know why building OPNsense source code resulted in large img/iso file sizes. I was surprised to see the file sizes were around 750mbs.  The newer official OPNsense release builds were closer to 213mbs. I then quickly posted on this forum to find out why. Right after posting my question at the corner of my eye I saw the extension bz2 at the end of the official OPNsense releases . within a few seconds after posting my question I looked for a delete post button and didn't see one so I modified the original post to say "Delete this post".

Today I returned to the forum to see my post still here with a reply from phoenix wanting me to share my findings.

So yea my finding are that I'm a complete idiot. First off the release builds are compressed. Second there is a "Delete this post" option at the top when you modify your post. Thank you for wasting your time reading this  .

If you've answered your original question about image size, wouldn't it be helpful to other to know your resolution?
