http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz - 470MB and
https://rcn-ee.net/deb/flasher/wheezy/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-2014-05-15-2gb.img.xz - 153MB are indeed different. could the naming convention used in each place be differentiated so one knows what they are getting? I.E. BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-YYYY-MM-DD-size-type.img.xz with type being descriptive such as bare, netinst, console, GNOME, KDE, BLOAT, MORE-BLOAT, BIGGER-BLOAT, kitchen-sink, every-existing-debian-package-preinstalled, and somewhere in there "will-no-longer-fit"! Might the smaller images be also made available / linked to on beagleboard.org? The images offered on beagleboard.org may make a good 5 minute demo but they are so stuffed that after doing apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on a new image one is left with somewhere in the 10-20MB range. try to install anything for real work like lm-sensors & i2c tools and you end up with no space left on device. forget about even thinking about installing what you need to play mp3 or video files. The smaller images really are needed, and adding a type field to the naming would be really helpful, as well as letting people know where images can be had of the type needed for their use. Those working mostly over serial and ssh really don't get much benefit from the graphical desktop and all the software it requires, thus a smaller image is extremely useful.
