Ok, I'll see what I can do about that.

Hmm, turns out the image is bigger but the largest directory has 3711
files.

You can download the ISO without HFS+ here:

http://cuirass.lassieur.org:3000/nar/gzip/b78dzbas0mrj5hv6xc8yn9qfcp78zd55-iso9660-image

The "reason" for this ISO image is a desktop installation test, that is
run this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
make check-system TESTS="gui-installed-desktop-os-encrypted"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Please tell me if you need more details,

Thanks for your help!
