The NSLU2 has a grand total of 8MB of flash space for bootloader, kernel, and the filesystem. We don't have even a few KB left right now for those extra packages. Keep in mind that even a 20-byte script will have a large footprint in the opkg database that's on the filesystem, so that space is in addition. It's really really difficult to build an image without a whole lot of extraneous stuff in it, and I suspect that extraneous stuff is all in there for the same reasoning, which goes along the lines of "It's only a little bit of space..." -- but it all adds up, and when your total rootfs can only be 5.5 MB or so... I'm not going to NAK this, but I will ask that if you do this please spend some time with the SlugOS image recipes to remove all the packages that this adds by default, with whatever mechanism you meant when you say "but you can get rid of those packages if you really don't want them". -Mike (mwester) _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
