It is definitely possible to delete the source code. If you have enough diskspace you can use the command sage -bdist. This builds a binary distribution in an extra directory. I think source is about 380 MB, so it would be almoust - 20%. Main trick to get lower size is to use compressed filesystems systematically (like squashed fs). This is my current smallest size machine (with X): http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/VM/sage-lite-vm-a1.ova (412 MB) -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
