Thanks for answering.
The hardware is a x86-64 mini-ITX board, nothing unusual. Besides this,
I'm working also in a Odroid XU-4, but this is not the issue.
I'm using regular X11 video drivers, as this board has a regular Intel
chipset.
Explaining a bit deeper:
There is a development equipment, with dozens of development aids. As I
don't want those in the disk image for production equipments, I have
managed to do this by making a copy of the working root partition
directories and files, remove portage related files and directories from
this copy and, using the working partition as reference, rip-off unneeded
packages files, like this:
for i in `equery -C f dev-qt/qt-creator` ; do if [ ! -d "$i" ] ; then rm -f
/mnt/aux/gentoo/$i ; fi ; done
Where /mnt/aux/gentoo/ contains that mentioned copy of all files of the
development root partition.
The package "dev-qt/qt-creator" is just an example, there are several
others which have their files removed from the copy of the root partition.
Thanks and
Best Regards,
Francisco
