Hi--
Currently I'm at 388K bytes, with 122 classes and 10,773 objects. Twenty of the remaining classes are for compilation. Forty percent of total space is taken up by instances of CompiledMethod.
What do folks suggest as the best way of getting compilation support back into the system after it has been removed?
thanks,

Very nice!

Image Segments perhaps? The packages at the very core (ie, those that are required by the compiler) should probably be stored in some object based storage (rather than source code) right? At a minimum, you would have the base image without the compiler, and the compiler would be stored as an image segment (or some other binary object storage scheme). Maybe you could use stdin for loading objects into the image to minimize the I/O support required.
388K is a great accomplishment...can you release the work so far as an alpha release so that people can start tinkering with it?

Craig,
I'm curious -- have you reached this point using a repeatable process to strip the image to this point, or are you working with a single image, and stripping by hand?
Later, Jon

It's repeatable.
