Ok, the project has been approved. I want to re-build part of the VM again (but I have all the hard part including the scripts saved -- just need to re-install scratchbox on my fresh install image).

I tried to "compact" my first image since according to the Disk Usage it take 3.3 gigs, but instead of shrinking the 5 gig file down it turned it into a 7 gig file. Compressed this ends up being around 1.7 gigs, but still wastes 4 gigs of your disk space for no reason.

Now, what I am thinking I may do is provide two images:

1. Without the scratch box installed but with the scripts ready to run. Then you can just double click the script from the desktop and it can run and install everything it needs as long as you have a decent network connection.

2. With the scratchbox (& everything else) installed, with just the finishing (Nokia binaries) scripts.

I'm thinking the image w/o scratch box would be easily under 1 gig compressed. Since the scratchbox actually takes a 2 gig chunk of the 3.3 gigs of space currently used.

Thoughts?
