Hi,
I have started to work on linux very recently. I was able to download the lates debian images and run them on eMMC and SDcard. I was able to get the picture of the boot sequence. Thanks to all the contributors who have put so much of information on internet to get started.
Now I am trying to build a Debian image. I was able to follow the instructions at https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black and get a command line version of linux working (debian-``7.5``-minimal-armhf-``2014``-``07``-``07``) .
* Does this minimal image already has lxde as part of it?
* Cursor came up only after hitting ctl+alt+F ctl+alt+f7. Until then screen was black with penguin on top left. What is the reason for this?
* This method allows us to prepare an SDcard manually in steps. How can I create a .img image that I can write it to SDcard?
* If I want to remove some stuff from linux that I may not need, how do I remove them while building, and at what stage?
Thanks in advance! It has been a great learning experience.
Thanks,
Ashwin
