If you have a minimal installation - it would be best to zero out
the free space after you have completed configuring your image.<br>
<br>
How much space is actually in use on the Image when you are done
with it.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">As Maish pointed out you can look at sparsifying the image, but depending on what you've installed (desktop etc) you may actually be using 5G of space. The cloud images IMO are awesome in terms of giving you a fully functional base system with zero bloat in them. Honestly I messed with building/importing images for a while and finally just decided to start with the base cloud images and build what I needed on them, then save them off as images. It was way more efficient for me, but I realize that doesn't always work for everyone.</div><br></div></div>
