Hi,
Currently we are reassessing whether or not the Headless image meets the requirements for a small, fast, useable image for board verification. Just for information the current stats as of 2011-01-21 are:
* Download Size: 64M * Download size with OMAP3 hwpack: 100M * Package count: 260
The list of package currently on the image can be found at:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Foundations/Specs/HeadlessImage#Package List
The current thoughts are to cut this image down as much as possible whilst still retaining the ability to boot to a command prompt. The new image would be a 'nano' image and would be useful for verifying that the hardware boots. For a more complete console-only image for developers a full-featured developer image would be created. See my other email entitled "Call for opinion: Linaro 'Developer' Image" for that.
Is anyone *really* against this idea and is satisfied with the Headless image in its current state? Opinions? Thoughts? Criticisms?
