Hi Andreas, Thanks for your quick reply. For sure, you are much more advanced than me at this stage :). At this moment I feel a little lost... For example, "6.11. Glibc-2.3.4" - the documentation states "routines for allocating memory, searching directories, opening and closing files, reading and writing files, string handling, pattern matching, arithmetic", 476 MB ! I suppose the JRE does need this library to work, am I wrong ? I suppose you have not included this lib in your project, or at least not fully. Can this library be further splited, so only the needed parts to be included ? I feel lost as I cannot figure out at this moment which dependencies (from those listed in chapter 6) needs JRE to run. I'd really appreciate any hints you might have.
