I've been playing a lot with iso-snapshot and the antiX 17 alpha"net" iso.
This morning did a completely fresh install, with every app I wanted to install. made my customizations, and ran the snapshot. The tool reported I had a 3.8 GB / file system. Running the install left me with a 890 something MB iso.
Immediately after running (successfully) iso-snapshot, I copied my iso off the HD, and deleted the /home/snapshot folder. I relaunched iso-snapshot, to be told that my / file system was now 4.6 GB. So is something being left behind, and where should I look?

its still picking up the root trash files
adding
/root/.local/share/Trash
should do the trick.
FYI for whatever reason, the"supersuser" caja still will put files in the"Trash" but the trash isn't accessible through the usual methods. So the trash icons look empty but the trash isn't empty.
in caja, shift+delete is the"permanent" deletion keyboard shortcut in mate/caja.
This wouldn't be a problem in the usual antiX/mx setups.
Thanks. I went through that list but I couldn't figure out what would be eating the space. This some quick math told me that the difference was just about the size of the isos, so I did a search and found...anticapitalista wrote:/usr/local/share/excludes.list

one more iso-snapshot problem...the contents of /etc/grub.d don't seem to be wrapped up into the iso. the effect is that while a snapshot iso will boot, you cannot install it.
/etc/grub.d certainly exists on the installed system I'm snap-shotting, but not on the finished iso.
its not excluded I don't think, but here are the two excludes list in question

in further testing... I think any folder that starts with /grub* is being excluded from the snapshot. I tried commenting out /grub int he excludes file, but to no affect. In an odd turn of events, grub install works both uefi and mbr, but the grub.cfg file is empty.
again all this is with the antiX-17 stretch net iso.

I think it is a bug with the net iso.
I'll test more and upload a newer version

cool. just so you know, the files are present on the net-iso, but they are not on the snapshot iso.
