Squeak on a flash drive

Are there any small, yet usefull squeak images i can put on a flashdrive and bring with me places. I would use the windows vm, because not everyone uses linux(saddly)

How small?

My smallest image I have is about 1.7 MB... It doesn't really matter which
VM you use, the image is the same.

Re: Squeak on a flash drive

Flash drives are plenty big nowadays to carry any and all smalltalks out there at the same time, no? Why would you care how big the image actually is?

Cheers!

Uhm, the smallest drive I have is 64 MB so about any regular image
would fit ... How small do you need it to be?

I see several useful responses to this and learn you have a 256 mb card.
In that size you could have Linux plus Squeak all working.
Sharing some usefuls links

http://bengross.com/smallunix.html
http://www.puppylinux.com/
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
http://www.slax.org/

And for images, off course I advocate for my stuff.

You could have SqueakLight, FunSqueak or normal 3.10.

And for power for move this, now you could connect to
http://200.3.221.149/ "SqueakLight powered swiki"

http://200.3.221.149:8080/seaside "next FunSqueak , you could try remote and
help improve "

Above run on SimplyMepis 6.5 Linux . Hard is a very powerful ... Pentium III
550Mhz with 256 mb memory

Re: Squeak on a flash drive

thw proble was that i only had about 3 mb of space left, because i had an exploit framework(metasploit), a password cracker, and some other security stuff on it(all used for legal reasons), but i got rid of all of it, so now the problem is solved. I have run linux off of a flash drive on numerous ocasions, but my parents don't like it when i boot my grandparents computer in linux :( i'm saving money to get a laptop to avoid all these problems

Use the One Click Install for your VM as it includes a single
directory with Linux, Windows, and Mac. I have the Seaside One Click
Install on a 1GB flash and move from all three platforms (using the
same image).

http://www.seaside.st/download/squeak#167943699

With 3 VMs, 30MB image, and 18MB in source, I'm using about 60MB. Try
and buy a USB key smaller than that for $10.

256MB is quite a squeeze for carrying your own environment. You may want to
use a 1/2GB flash memory for such purposes. AFAIK, no distro ships with
squeakvm in it and the ones in the public repositories are pretty dated :-(.

It is easier if you carry the OS ISO (e.g. MEPIS 7), VM and images on a single
chip and boot a system off the ISO image. Carry a live CD as a backup for
those cases where machines can't boot through USB.

Umezawa-san has such USB bootable disk images called "Squeakware"
and "Squeakware-edu", based on SLAX....
