Not as small as I would like. I did it using standard task-boot and a couple of task-base packages, rather than do a custom package set up-front. I expect it will be a good test case for determining what is appropriate in task-base-foo packages ... Be prepared for some packages to be removed - there is still a lot of fat in there which is not strictly required by the defined image package inclusion criteria. -- Rod
