Thanks for your help Robert. Most of that was already removed but whiptail, wget, and groff-base got me down to 119M. dmidecode did not exist. All the rest I had removed. I would like to get it down further, as in like under 100M, but as it stands. It is not all that bad. I mean there comes a time where everyone starts feeling like they're picking nits . . . But that won't stop me from reading more on the subject, and possibly removing unneeded kernel modules, etc. "Worst case" I could always use your barefs, but figured I would play around with this to give me a break from staring at a screen full of C ( blankly I might add ) for a while. Part of this was that I wanted to test if I could debootstrap, reduce the image a decent bit( and I've done that already - with your help too ), and then pull in one of your linux-images, then use dd to "extract" MLO / uboot.bin to create a working bootable system without even touching it with a beaglebone prior to boot. Why ? Well it keeps me busy. Because I can, and I was curious . . .
