with some sort of compression you should get some reasonable file size. (given that you can be able to fit a default ubuntu install into < 800 MB, example: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/693)

You're right, that is uncompressed. I just Gzip'd it, turned out to be 384MB. That's a much more reasonable size....
