I think it is worth being clear that Yocto Project is not a desktop distro. We're interested in customisable targets and one of the customisations is being able to minimise the kernel footprint. Yes, there are cases you want *everything* but there are also cases where you do not. The desktop kernel one binary solution is fine for their target market but that isn't ours. Tiny is an extreme of that but it doesn't mean "standard" YP looks like a desktop. If you wanted a desktop distro, you can use a desktop distro. Cheers, Richard
