If I recall correctly, the world file from a stage3 tarball is empty. It only has the packages you want installed added there.
You and Arve are correct.
Are you thinking about the system packages instead of the world file?
Yes. That's what I meant. Thank you for correcting me.
If so, I think it is as small as it can be already.
That is / was my understanding as well. But I was not certain. Hence why I asked.
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.
I largely agree. But I thought there were also other binaries included that aren't strictly needed.
