OK Gary, thanks. I have found an article which states including "read-only-rootfs" in the IMAGE_FEATURES will provide me with just that. I am building now, so let's see what happens. In my opinion, although a power-failure reboot is undesirable from the OS perspective, I would expect it to come back with networking up - or at least auto-magically reboot if they aren't for some reason. -- Rich Bayliss _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
