Hello. I need solution to build Arago with minimal rootfs size (Only need busybox and Qt4). I need rootfs size less than 20 MB. How I can do it?
With solution from http://arago-project.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_Up_Build_Environment (Build a minimal base filesystem - bitbake arago-base-image) i have rootfs size more than 50 MB without Qt4.

    Hi,

    There are a couple of options.

    1. From Arago you can also build images that are present in OE. So, an image that you find to be useful in arago-oe-dev/recipes/images can be built via bitbake as well.

    2. Once you build an image, you can query the opkg database and use opkg to remove software that you don't need. Mind you this is essentially working backwards and isn't always the best option.

    3. The most optimum option is to create your own image recipe so that you customize it to your needs. I would suggest looking at the different images in arago/recipes/images and arago-oe-dev/recipes/images to get a feel and play around with the recipe. You can get plenty of help from OE community on how to create an image recipe on freenode IRC #oe as well
