[vwnc] Tweaks to strip an image to headlees

Lautaro Fernández
Hi list,
I'm working on stripping to get a headless image.

After applying a strip to a fresh VWNC 7.5 image (16.562 KB) I've got an image which size was 10.818 KB. And if I made a headless-strip to the same fresh image, I've got a result image which size was 10.804 KB.

That is a very short difference, just 14 KB, is this correct?
Or I'm doing something wrong?

Any help will be appreciated,
Lautaro Fernández

Lautaro,

Headless'ing the image simply makes the image rely less on graphics subsystem, it doesn't actually remove a whole lot of code, if any.

Well Boris, I was expecting to have even a smaller image if I made it headless. Thanks for your answer.

This email pops me two questions:
a) What is the minimum size I could get from a stripped 7.5 image for Swazoo + Seaside (no GUI ) ?
b) Did you ever try the script made by Terry Raymond (which you can download from http://craftedsmalltalk.com/downloads.html ) for VW 7.3.1 ? I couldn't make it run.

Thanks for your time,
Lautaro Fernández
