The issue is RCN's images and scripts are far more generic than what I am creating. He creates a single minimal Debian image that needs to be able to generate a bootable SD card for any of several different boards (the BeagleBones, the original Beagle Board, the Beagle XM, etc) as well as support installing into the on-board eMMC flash. That's why so much stuff is getting pulled in from on-line. Since we really only care about one platform, caching the files in the tarball to make installation easier is reasonable. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
