It's still a little hackish as so far it's really just been written for me.. "base packages" https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/var/pkg_list.sh AKA: everything needed for network access/debuging for a console system.. They are split into discrete groups, just disable what you don't need.. "chroot packages" https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L192 Without these the "chroot" will fail and you'll never get a final image... "firmware packages" https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L276 not everyone needs them.. You can disable them globally via: https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L326 "bb.org/x11/lxde packages" https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L39 I'm still fine tunning these for the "final" image.. Finally the "bb.org" script https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/beagleboard.org_image.sh#L328 which runs, this sets up everything "custom" for the bb.org image.. (non generic stuff.) https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/chroot_script/beagleboard.org.sh If you want "supper minimal" aka git in lessthen 64MB there's a couple switches for that..
