Ok, the striped down 1.2 GB virtual machine is available in the same
link. Maybe some unneeded system utilities could still be removed, but
i wouldn't expect more than a few dozen MB gained from that.
I have noticed that, when running under virtualbox and closing saving
the state, everything
I forgot to mention that buiding sage from source writes the logs of
all the building process. Removing them saves a lot of disk space. I
think such a thing should also be included in the make micro_release
script.

What makes it this big? I would guess 500M minimal install, 500M Sage,
and the rest is desktop stuff?
Is it not possible to install a server/minimal version of your OS and on

Ok it works - downloading it now. I had to use
wget http://riemann.unizar.es/sagevm/Sage.ova
Anyway - 2 GB is big! - how big is it if you lzma it?

It is that big because just the sage directory itself is very big. The
guest OS is really very minimal: almost no services running, and only
installed the very basic stuff (no x server, for instance).
Maybe some space could be freed if, after compiling, the source code
could be erased. But i am

I have tried compressing it with 7z, and just got a gain of around 100
megs. I will try to take a look at the bdist option.
Soes the use of compressed filesystems slow things down?
Besides the size issue, do you have any other feedback?
Thanks

This is too big. I'm maintaining the official virtual image and its only
1.4 gb, despite being a fairly standard Fedora install. Did you zero out
the virtual disk before exporting? There is trash in

IMHO the most important thing is not cutting down the VM to the minimal
size, but making it easily maintainable by having a script that spits out a
new OVA without
I am also working on that. I am thinking about setting up another
guest OS that, when booted, fetches the last sage source, compiles it,
and copies it to the hard disk of the main VM, overwriting the
previous one.

BTW, i use a flexible virtual disk. Would that benefit from the
zeroing out?

I take it you mean dynamically allocated virtual disks, which I'm using as
well. I'm pretty sure that you need to manually zero it (also check out
zerofree, though I opted for the simpler dd if=/dev/zero way).

Bootup, startup is fast. It works like a treat!

df -a command gives about 3.5 GB used

Yes, you need it. It is done with VirtualBox. I don't have VMWare
installed, so i am not sure, but i guess you can import it.

this is obviously yes but I just didn't see it mentioned earlier in

I found Virtualbox a tad easier to use
In the download page of VirtualBox, there is a GPL binary for windows.
