Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your detailed comments.
From the above, I'm pretty sure that "netbase" will require a lot of networking
components, specifically adding things like libc-inet. So avoid netbase.
It's possible that keyboard/keymaps may cause additional stuff to come in due to
locale requirements.. so I'd dump those as well..
sysvinit may also introduce some additional items -- so if it causes problems,
remove it and switch to the init located within busybox.
sysvinit and busybox, tinilogin require eglibc libc-crypt support.
And busybox need libnsl, so I try to finger out how to break these
depencies.
update-alternatives is what included gettext -- so this might need some
enhancement to avoid gettext as a requirement. So I'd suggest skipping it.
(Note without it, it's likely busybox, tinylogin may not get setup properly...)
I will test it.
udev is quite complex and drags in a number of components -- so drop that..
RP suggested using mdev provided by busybox instead, I'll do it later.
Leaving:
base-files \
base-passwd \
busybox \
initscripts \
modutils-initscripts \
sysvinit \
tinylogin
First see if you can compile the above with a minimal eglibc configuration. If
not I can help you work through those issues.. If you can, you SHOULD see a
fairly dramatic decrease in size.
First of all, I do the minimal with your direction and give you feedback.

Thank & Regards,

Thanks a lot!
I made a mistake that try eglibc configurability in a directory which
has build core-image-minimal, so the packages which depend on eglibc
didn't rebuild, and I didn't find the dependency before. I am sorry!
Regards,
Kai
