OK, Orit (Cc'd) did some research - this is a booting while still in grub, size probably does not get much less than that. windows is said to be much more aggressive in allocating memory. start offset: 9600673 end offset: 9614933 So we get 15K out of 9M. By the way, most of the memory here is pretty much all uniform I guess, because compressing it gets us: gzip: 1934169 bzip2 -9: 1462551 So even with aggressive compression, we probably won't be able to get below 1.5M for memory, two orders of magnitude above device state. Sounds convincing? -- MST
