So it looks like the shrink works. It doesn't do much, though. My image goes from 20.9MB, down to 20.3MB.

and (just to check) you've already done Smalltalk unloadReloadablePackages? I managed to get down to a 12 Mb minimal trunk but I had to hack fix a lot of MNUs. Basically we have work to do to make those packages really unload.

Yup, #unloadReloadablePackages is part of #shrink. I was able to get down to about 19MB with no problems by unloading test packages. When I moved on to unloading production code that I don't need, I started getting MNUs too. I'll keep hacking at it until I see diminishing returns.

Thanks!
