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
