A VM is fine but at least it should be minimal so you can see what of the 400MB matters. A minimal environment (boot to TeX? Would be good).

- turingfan 13y agoFor the sample chess problem experiment, we do also provide a tarfile or zip of the experiment directory, which is just a few MB. So if that works in your environment, you're good to go. If not there's the 400MB to fall back on. Obviously it would be nice to know exactly which bits of that are unnecessary to save space, but for now I'm happy enough to be able to give you something that works.
- justincormack 13y agoSure, just thinking longer term. Dependencies are important to understand for replication. Eg your result might be only due to a dodgy random number stream (say). What do you need to rebuild? What should it be robust to?
- im3w1l 13y agoIf you have a working VM, and non-working tarball, you can "binary search" for the right environment.
