There's also the question of what the BSP adds to the images from the machine definitions. Meta-intel in particular, adds *all* of linux-firmware, which takes up a cool 900Mb on target. Compare that to the modules (59Mb), or bzImage (11Mb). If you want to optimize the disk footprint for a specific board, it has to start with installing only the useful firmware; if you want to use the generic machine, then optimizing the kernel footprint makes no sense in light of what the complete set of firmwares consumes. No? Alex
