It's all about who the end user is... NetInstall: For the experienced debian developer, who knows what they are doing and just wants to install debian. This script only installs a working bootloader/kernel everything else is up to the end user. (Currently no working solution for Windows/Mac users) Image-Builder: (there's actually 4 targets) "beagleboard.org_image.sh" : This is a beta of what will be shipping with the board. A certain out of box experience is required, thus lots of things are installed and will not meet your "minimal" requirements.. (Solution for Win/Mac) "rcn-ee_image.sh" : pretty minimal, it's what I've been shipping here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Demo_Image (Solution for Win/Mac) "eewiki_base_image.sh" : even smaller, no default kernel, it's completely up to you to setup bootloader/kernel. "eewiki_barefs_image.sh" : even smaller, previous on a diet, will fit in under 64Mb (no kernel/bootloader)..
