The short answer is you should use a larger compact flash card. 

Long answer is it's nearly impossible to buy anything smaller than 256MB 
new.  The image size did increase to slightly under 61MB.  We added 
several useful utilities.  We felt it was better to increase the size of 
the image and include these new tools rather than keep the size down.  
It's still quite small and you can always download the development 
environment and build your own smaller image with several things 
stripped out.
