So do you have some approprite tailed rt.jars for reference.)

Hi Jin ,

With this configure :
./configure --disable-nls --enable-pure-java-math
--with-threads=unix-pthreads --with-engine=intrp --with-libffi
--with-jikes --without-x

I have 7.2M (3.0M for rt.jar and 2.6M for jre/lib/i386) without removing
anything

If you use static libraries, the size will be really bigger (all
required libraries will be in kaffe)
Did you remove ./man ./include and ./lib directories ?

Cheers,
Fabien
