My experiment (yeah, I should post it on minnow) some week ago on 3.2g got down to 5.5Mb with
Morphic still in - no real fancy shrinking applied, just the standard stuff available on the Swiki
(although I fiddled a bit). I don't remember if I removed eToys (whatever that really consists of)
- might have. That is uncompressed. I compressed it for fun and landed on a complete zip with VM
etc on 3.5 Mb I think.

regards, Göran
