Hi, I would like to know how I can reduce de size of the Ruby distribution.
This is because I want to make a aplication that run from a USB memory and =
I
don't want to drag all the ruby distrubution. I'm asking if there are some
files in the Ruby distribution that I can erase and keeping the basic
function of ruby.

If you're just looking to distribute a single ruby application, then Ruby2Exe
will package up only what is needed to run the application, including a ruby
executable. That might be what you're looking for.

Thank you so much, it's what I need, even better that the solution I was
thinking

rubyScript2exe rocks. Thanks to whoever wrote it.

I don't know how small your USB stick is, but mine holds ruby about 64
times.

Dependencies can make it grow quite a bit (tcl/tk, readline, etcetera).
Perhaps it is more useful to state I have plenty of space left on my 32
MB of flash memory in my iPAQ. 16 MB is taken by the basic image, so
Ruby and dependencies are small enough. Yes, it is a compressed file
system, but I can run that on a USB stick as well.
