I kinda like to be able to pick for a base or extras. It may make it a tad more complex but since I've already solved it, I'm happy.

I want more flexibility. Busybox is an example, it's usually needed to being able to add a package, so it's a part of the base. or is it if you add util-linux and gnu tools? so which one should become a package? or not become one? The builder (should) know this and do the right pick. > Don't forget package dependencies... I'm not bothered with them right now but I do have that on my list of things to add when I know that it's accepted. But it should be quite simple with the autotools stuff so I guess I might start there as soon as I've been able to compile a simple X server with a few drivers. > If you need help to integrate ipkg, I have already some modifications of > Buildroot to share with you, before publishing them. Sounds good. Thomas.
