Basically: http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-rootfs.git;a=blob;f=config/root/bootstrap;h=1b9ef7784898e08bf0bcf41ce98f718435f99453;hb=refs/heads/master and then http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-rootfs.git;a=blob;f=config/root/useful;h=849262736df0ce6067c2f7c9766d729b0879663e;hb=refs/heads/master The first script debootstraps a new image (either running on a real GTA04 or in qemu) into a chroot rootfs. This image boots but has no GUI and lacks important tools. This is pulled off the rootfs (by tar czf ...) and results in e.g. http://download.goldelico.com/letux-debian-rootfs/ 20150928-jessie-8.2-minimal.tbz 2015-09-28 09:47 76M The second script adds useful things incl. X11 and LXDE or XFCE4. The result is e.g. 20150928-jessie-8.2-lxde.tbz 2015-09-29 00:05 231M So what is blowing up by factor 3 is X11 + GUI. Nand flashing is done by the script cited above by trying to copy but prune parts of this (running) system from µSD root to NAND root. I can explain more details later on our workshop.
