You know, I just realized that "xvm-gui" adding 500M may be excessive for me as I don't really need a "gui"...  I was just following these instructions, but I only use command-line tools like `virt-install` and `xm` - is there an opportunity to save even more space installing something less "gui" oriented?

Also, just for kicks, if I do have a GUI installed, how do I access it? - desktop application or web browser?

Thanks,
Kent

Hey Mark,

Your script is great!  - very easy to use...

Here are my results:

- post slim.py (b111):  377M (awesome!)
- post `image-update` to b126 and `rm -rf /var/pkg/download/*`: 393M
- post `pkg install xvm-gui` and `rm -rf /var/pkg/download/*`: 896M

BTW, I didn't realize before that I could remove the package files after installing them.  I checked and could've saved 345M from the numbers I reported before.  Before, when using the ISC minimization script, I reported 2.0G for post pkg install xvm-gui, this *should* have been 1.65G...almost double what using your script enabled!

Now I'm bummed that I just bought a couple 8GB Industrial CFs, I could've stuck with my 4GB CFs...heck, I probably could've stuck with my 2GB CFs!
Thanks,
Kent
