With tinkering I can have up to 80 MB of available disk space, but I'd like to keep it low-size.

Actually I would want the opposite: a VM that would work on many devices rather than a VM that would work on only one type of device a bit better. Pardon the terminology, I still look at the Python frame through my Java experience. We are targeting a Client-Server architecture, where the server does most of the job, and the client is used as a 'Screen and Keyboard Terminal' without putting much resource pressure on it. I was actually wondering if there is a way to build a new CAB file with only the Processor Type changed (no re-compilation). However I lack the tools to do so. > Alexandre P.S. I will be off the subject for a while. I need to focus back to the server side. My device was also put to real use, and I will have no test bed for a week or so. _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
