Hi,
I'm trying to create a minimal GPLv3-free x86 image using the yocto project. As I'm looking for ways around the GPLv3 license, I'm unable to use certain packages (such as the live-install which depends on parted, and grub-2.0).
Instead I'm trying to create a minimal filesystem, stored as a tarball, which includes grub-0.97. To install the image in the target environment (currently a virtual machine) I use a small bootable linux image used to set up the partitions and extracting the tarball image. After doing so, I mount proc and dev to be able to chroot into the target file system and run grub-install (to set up grub in the mbr). However, grub-install seem to segfault (a lot), and later prints out that the installation was successful.
This methodology has previously been working with gentoo minimal builds.
It feels like I can't be the only one who is in need of a minimalistic GPLv3-free x86 build, is there someone here who might be able to guide me in the right direction?
Regards,
Dan
