Re: [Ltib] Package dependencies

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Ken,

The rootfs are is meant to be full of stuff you may need.  This is also
NFS root mountable too, so everything is there.

When you want to finalise your rootfs (and prune it back), normally
you'd make a ramdisk, or a jffs2 image.  At that point run:

$ ./ltib -m config

Navigate to: 
--- Target Image Generation
    Options  ---> 

And in there there are options to remove files, directories:

()  remove these directories
()  remove these files 

Note a number of directories are removed by default (e.g. /usr/include).

You end up with some processed image file (pruned), but the source
rootfs directory still remains as before with all the interface
libraries/headers.

Regards, Stuart
