So take one of those distros and heave stuff over the side until you get
it small enough. Note that there's only 2 constraints - the 650-700M that
will fit on a standard CD, and the 250M or so that you can fit onto one
of the "credit card sized" chopped-down CDs.

The distinction only matters if the pen test assumes that you can sneak
a cut-down CD onto the site, but can't find a way to get a regular CD onto
the site (if all else fails, buy a portable CD player, scribble "My Fave Metal"
on your pen-test disk, and see if you can social-engineer it past the guard.

If you're *really* good, you can even burn it so the CD player will see
3 or 4 good metal cuts, so you can crank it up and prove it's a music CD. ;)
