for me Pharo and GUI go hand in hand, I cannot imagine Pharo without GUI. I also despise the command line. Plus once you remove the GUI you kill the very essence of Smalltalk.��

But if that is what you(you as all people who support this) like and need, that's your choice and I respect that.

Even back in the 80s when almost everything was command lines , I was drooling over Amiga's 500 beautiful coloured GUIs. It started my fascination with computer graphics and later 3d graphics and sound.��

So me and the GUI are very old friends and we go hand in hand :)��

Of course I understand if we want to go super minimal the GUI has to go together with many other things that make Pharo what it is. But I dont care for such extremes. I just wanted to reduce the fat.��

What do you expect from such minimal image? Because we can produce several intermediate steps on the way to the standard full Pharo image (BaselineOfMorphicCore, BaselineOfMorphic, BaselineOfUI, BaselineOfBasicTools...)

The minimal image is headless image without any GUI. It is useless to try to open it this way.

hmm does not work for me, it open the icon of pharo on macos sierra dock and it stays there doing nothing
right clicking on it and choosing quit does nothing, so I am have to use force quit to make it close��

I have downloaded pharo 6.1 from the website, default download, 32 bit, minimal 32 bit image. I drag and drop image on top of pharo.��

I remember that the website used to link to a minimal image download but it does not seem there is one anymore��

Is still minimal image maintained ?

yes, as part of the bootstrap process
��
Are there ways to make a image minimal ?

it is created in��bootstrap/scripts/build.sh under name��Pharo7.0-metacello-* and saved on files.pharo.org as

So you do not need to do it by yourself.
