it’s those weight limits on the luggage they spook you
     they spooked me they spooked us
     but they are not really limits you just have to pay more
     but you don’t actually find that out until you get there
     or if you want to spend an hour on the phone asking about it
          well probably only 20 minutes actually 
          but you have to know that you can ask this question
               that it is a valid question to ask
               which apparently we did not
     so i left something behind     Won’t do that again

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.
