If I recall correctly, the world file from a stage3 tarball is empty. It only has the packages you want installed added there. Are you thinking about the system packages instead of the world file? If so, I think it is as small as it can be already. After all, a stage3 tarball can't even boot as it has no kernel, boot loader mechanism or anything. It's only enough that you can build from to suite your needs. Dale :-) :-)
