Packages we don't need are: hal and libpam. Removing hal could save one MB, libpam not more then 1 or 2 KB. Next thing one can do is to remove some kernel modules, like sunrpc, nfsd, nf- conntrack, scsi-mod, udf, snd-pcm-oss. And installing only en-us locale. > > And because noone of the SHR devs has a 1973 this machine > > isn't well maintained. > > That's a pity, I'm sure there are a lot 1973's that want to see the ligth > again.

This is what the SHR coreteam is doing. For those things you have to dive deep into OpenEmbedded and you have to learn a lot. There is a link to the bitbake manual on the wiki page, that would be the next step you have to do. But if you join the IRC channel and answer questions and test our images we can do all this together with you. > > I would suggest you to join the #openmoko-cdevel channel @ freenode, then > > we > > can help you much faster.
