Hi,
Currently we are reassessing whether or not the Headless image meets the requirements for a console-only developer focused image usable for kernel, boot loader, power management and other types of non-gui development. 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:

The current thoughts are to increase the package count and download size by adding a number of developer focused packages. The initial list of additional packages can be found at:

Is there anything missing? A more stripped down 'nano' image will be produced for board bring-up and verification, see my other email entitled "Call for opinion: Linaro 'Nano' Image" for more information.
Is anyone *really* against this idea and is satisfied with the Headless image in its current state? Opinions? Thoughts? Criticisms?
Regards, Jamie. -- Linaro Release Manager
