The "console" doesn't have git installed, so we can be around 200Mb..

You don't have to rely on the scripts under /opt/scripts/tools/ just:

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.15.8-bone6

btw, i'm really focusing on v3.14 lately, and haven't back/forward
ported the kernel fixes for v3.15/v3.16/v3.17 for all the lcd capes.
The sgx build script from v3.15 should work on v3.14.x

You will have to build that.. debian doesn't build qt5 embedded, but
right down your steps.. I've been setting up:

https://github.com/rcn-ee/repos

to help setup packages thrown out to: repos.rcn-ee.net
