(i know the meta-intel layer uses this feature.) then i noticed that the "splash" feature is defined, not in core-image.bbclass, but in the more basic image.bbclass, as is package-management: FEATURE_PACKAGES_package-management = "${ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE}" SPLASH ?= "psplash" FEATURE_PACKAGES_splash = "${SPLASH}" so is there some rationale for deciding which FEATURE_PACKAGES settings are defined in core-image, while others are defined in image? i'll still add a line for splash to core-image.bbclass. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
