Hi and thank you for your suggestion. I had a look at this oe-core recipe and it would definitely fit my rootfs size requirement but it looks like it really hasn't much included and it doesn't include any Angstrom configuration. Maybe it's a starting point but to be honest I would prefer to remove what I don't need than to spend a lot of time figuring out what I'm missing :) Regards, -- Christophe Aeschlimann Embedded Software Engineer & IT Manager ACN Advanced Communications Networks S.A. 2000 - Neuchâtel, Switzerland Tel. +41 32 724 74 31 _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
