Another good way of stripping a System for a Plus is to use the dreaded
Installer [ :-) ] to install the System to a disk that DOES NOT already
have one. That is, first delete the System, Finder, etc. from your
target disk, then boot with the new System and run Installer.
I found that this reduced the size of my Plus System from 330k to 280k
(or numbers in that area). The 330k is the standard, unstripped size
of the System, so even if the numbers are wrong, you get the idea.
Oh yeah, if you do this, make sure you have 2 disk drives, or you're
in for some swapping... :-(
