How to configure small Angstrom footprint filesystem?

Hi,

Is there a way to configure the bitbake (OpenEmbedded) environment so
that I can remove packages/applications I don't want in the file
system? When I build the filesystem, I want it to be less than 256MB
(preferably around 150MB) so I can fit it on the NAND flash. The
current Angstrom demo filesystem (after firstrun initialization) is
around 370MB! I rather do it the right way when building the file
system instead of go through the file system afterwards and removing
stuff I don't need. TIA.

Regards,
Andy

bitbake console-image and work from there :slight_smile:

Or look at recipes/images/beagleboard-demo-image and modify that to
suit for your needs.
