As of now. The r1a4 anyboot image is 804MiB, with about 20MiB free. So,
if we aimed for CD size,then some programs/optional packages would need
to be trimmed out.

Can we strip some third party apps to remove debug information? Or is

this a bad idea? Or can we put more stuff into ZIPs?

Good point.  Back in hrev44240, I disabled the stripping of debug symbols
from the optional packages[1]  That turned out to be stripping the
wpa_supplicant binary and breaking it.

Maybe InstallOptionalHaikuImagePackage could be extended to support a new
optional parameter stripDebugSymbols,  which defaults to true.  To control
that, the HAIKU_STRIP_DEBUG_FROM_OPTIONAL_PACKAGES = 1 ;  could be
re-added.  Then for wpa_supplicant, stripDebugSymbols would be set to
false.

This was done in hrev44648 and the commits associated with its push.
Now, a GCC 2 Hybrid anyboot image is 743MiB -- still a ways off from
fitting on a CD.


Hm, today's nightly hrevr1alpha4-44618 anyboot is still sitting at 804
MB, has the build machine not been adjusted yet perhaps?
By the way, the R1/A3 anyboot weighed in at 694 MB.
