[R] earth package question

[luckjiff]

I’ve a question on saving a earth object to disk.
Say m is the model then
print(object.size(m), units=”Mb”)
163.8 Mb
and save it off
save(m, “tmp.rda”)
and “tmp.rda” is roughly 171Mb file.

I would like this to be much smaller.
So I try
m$bx<-NULL
then
print(object.size(m), units=”Mb”)
14.9 Mb Great!
however when I save it off
save(m, “tmp.rda”)
and “tmp.rda” is roughly 171Mb file – the same size.

Can you help?  By the way earth is awesome!
Thanks!
Glen
