Have sent the markbdetail.txt file. It's big. I can see a lots of GB worth of audio files listed as squashfs-root/root/.local/share/Trash/files/...

Empty your trash(/root/.local/share/Trash) for the root account.  You have a ton of stuff there.  Looks like a lot of deleted music files and such.  You also have some stuff in .thumbnails in the root account.

If you are using backup mode at some point, make sure to empty trash and thumbnails as well for the normal users.

Success!  Yahoo

I just made my first remaster distributable ISO. So it turned out I had loads of files I never knew I had in root trash.

Thanks Fragadelic for all your help.

One other thing you should do that I forgot to mention, is to remove the old kernel you have.  Looks like you upgraded the kernel but the old one is still there as well.  That will reduce your size even more.

Just in case you are curious, the command I gave you for the detail.txt is like doing a "ls -l" on the whole filesystem but it gets the info from the filesystem.squashfs file.  This is how I saw all the Trash entries in root as well as your extra kernel.

The initial command I gave you is part of remastersys and it calculates the total filesystem size that the ubiquity installer needs.
