RCN just checked in part of what we need to support off-line image generation: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder/commit/d3a082db49a21419fc0c067dfea80ab78586e20f Turns out the stuff he was pulling in is now around 60 Mb, and isn't really needed unless you're making a production image. So the required script changes just got easier! :) -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
