Can you describe how you built them?
I have built them creating a child environment inside a running Squeak (compiling in an internal environment) and placing only the methods requiered to run. Then a tracer, like SystemTracer has been used to write a minimal image (only with methods required to run).
The main idea is part of a study on in-image virtual environment gestation for the generation and nutrition of lighweight clients from parent object environments.
An initial paper can be reached at http://www.smalltalking.net/Papers/stGen/stGen.htm ( sorry but it is written in spanish... you can translate it using translation facilities of google [search for "engendrando un smalltalk" ] )
cheers, Ale.

You can also build images with even smaller footprint using and alternative like the SystemTracer. Here I attach two images in binary format that can work on win* machines (use FFI during runtime) one of 62kb and the other of 120kb They are runtime only, like java programs... Ale.
