Hi,


I'm trying to create a minimal GPLv3-free x86 image using the yocto proj= ect. As I'm looking for ways around the GPLv3 license, I'm unable to use ce= rtain 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 (c= urrently 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 chro= ot 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 G= PLv3-free x86 build, is there someone here who might be able to guide me in= the right direction?


Regards,
Dan
