Sorry for bringing this up again, but nothing works so well for getting an image back down to size after installing additional packages (especially big ones, like Aida or Magma) like running LPF. The fixObsoleteReferences does nothing...any other ideas? Whatever it is is present in the pharo script as well, and does something in a way that doing a garbage collect after the end of the script immediately shrinks the image--in this case from 50Mb to 25Mb! Take care,
Rob

if I re-run the level playing field script, it seems to clean things
up.
It's probably because of this line in http://installer.pbwiki.com/LevelPlayingField-Monticello15 :
SmalltalkImage current fixObsoleteReferences
Try running that and see if it helps.
