I have been working the BBB Rev B and C for over a year, and I've been 
using the Debian images provided by eLinux and Beagleboard, available from 
- 

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Debian_Releases

and http://beagleboard.org/latest-images

In the most recent builds from 2015-11-03, I've been having a lot of 
trouble with missing system tools and packages.
Some examples include - 

- wrong date and time set due to ntp service not being installed, 
installing ntp resolves this issue
- inability to connect using supported wifi adapter due to missing 
wireless-tools package
- missing DNS support which causes apt-get to fail as it is unable to 
correctly resolve the IP addresses for the rcn.ee repos included in the 
builds
- missing /sbin directory in PATH, including missing ifconfig command, 
adding /sbin to path resolves these issues


Did I miss some announcement or release notes about these releases that 
says they are lighter than previous builds?

Why didn't I have most of these issues with previous builds?  
IIRC, all the builds I used before included ntp, /sbin in the PATH, and DNS 
support, and wireless worked OOTB (after editing /etc/network/interfaces)

Thanks all for any help or guidance offered.
