i want it I’m going to get it if i can click download on it
     i don’t care about 43MB

is there an image stripper? ( Dolphin has an image stripper you can modify.
     after stripping the .exe file was about 6MB )

if this is 43MB of just DrGeo then i think it’s fine
     i don’t know what anybody else thinks and i don’t know much but
     it takes a few minutes to download 
     at 1.5Mbits / second
     not really noticeable
     it has to be above 100MB at that speed to be noticeable
     in my opinion

so can i do differential geometry in DrGeo?
     like general relativity? that would be cool.
     can it do Tensors? i have this 
          book : einstein gravity in a nutshell
          and i have always wanted a numerical graphical way to go through
          these equations in there
     i guess there is that numerical package i got, is there a tensor package?
     i tried to write a tensor thing once
     i tried to boil it down to the minimum number of lines of 
          KEGGenerator code and that was like 10 or less
          to do a tensor multiply
          but i never tested it yet     Test first!

so i want to get DrGeo now and i don’t care about 43MB
     now or soon it’s not really possible right now
     usually it would be but i am out of my usual country

I find a workaround.  My bash script to build DrGeo image just remove
the content of the package-cache directory.

I am now done with this problem, and I will not get back to it right now.
Thanks to ask and the suggestion, it could be useful to other.

I have other serious concern as the resulting size of the DrGeo image
built against P7, 43MB. I feel ashame to make any public DrGeo release
with such an important image size.
