[Mono-list] How to make/get a small footprint...

...no not the one left by my foot, but the one left by mono.

I have tried 3 times to build mono on windows using cygwin following 3
different guides.
3 times i have failed.

Anyway, the reason I need a small install is because of my target machine.
Its a Windows XPE machine with 30mb of space free.
(256mb Flash drive - wooo!)

Reading the  http://www.mono-project.com/Small_footprint Small_footprint 
article has led me to believe that I can get the mono framework onto my XPE
box - as long as I omit stuff that I don't use.

The .NET app I have is very limited, it just talks to hardware devices via
bespoke API's - i'm not doing anything fruity with webservices etc so I know
I dont need the whole framework.

So, am I flogging a dead horse?
Can Mono be put on a diet and squeezed onto a 30mb drive - I could possibly
free up another 20mb but thats pushing it.

If this can be done - has anyone done it?
Can they host/post the installation they made?

Many thanks in advance,
Mark.
