I must have to add something to add the drivers and firmware to the kernel. Not sure what though. That's a whole separate issue. To get the drivers you typically need to add kernel-modules and linux-firmware (as others have stated). However, if you want a truly minimal system, those are poor choices as they bring in TONS of packages. You probably want to just include the kernel-module-XXX and linux-firmware-XXX that are actually needed by your hardware. >> On Jan 26, 2015, at 11:09 AM, James Abernathy > wrote: >> >>> >>> On Jan 26, 2015, at 10:52 AM, Gary Thomas > wrote: >>> >>> On 2015-01-26 08:26, James Abernathy wrote: >>>> >>>>> On Jan 26, 2015, at 8:49 AM, Gary Thomas > wrote: >>>>> >>>>> On 2015-01-26 06:29, James Abernathy wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>>> On Jan 23, 2015, at 12:37 PM, Gary Thomas > wrote: >>>>>>> >>>>>>> On 2015-01-23 10:24, Jim Abernathy wrote: >>>>>>>> I'm starting a project mostly for self-education.
