Well - the target can enforce a specific architecture. We do not (yet) have a 1:1 match for all the target you want to have: > Minimal -- absolute minimum to boot to a bash prompt We do not have the absolute minimum. Though it definetly would make sense. Coming close: Generic + minimal selection tempalte , or: Embedded ones, though they focus more on cross compiling a more populated system. > SDK -- absolute minimum to run the Config/Download/Build scripts Generic + minimal should mostly be that. However a exact "needed to bootstrap T2" selection was requested once as well. The minimal already brings some more tools that are not required for rebuilding but e.g. writing the ISO to CD/DVD, or checking out the T2 source via SVN. > Minimal+GUI -- absolute minimum to boot to X11 Generic + minimal-x11 template, though yet again even this has some nice-to-have tools already. > Office -- all of the X11/Gnome/KDE stuff, but possibly no developer tools The Dektop target should come near. We plan to add package pre-selections to this desktop target to choose whether to use KDE, GNOME, Xfce, E17 or a more Scientific selection. > Everything -- every package known to T2 OK, we have this: Generic without a pre-selection will build every package included in T2.
