Hmm, I'm not sure what I was thinking earlier, you're right it doesn't appear to have X. I can't access the LSB specs website right now unfortunately but does this have an official name within LSB?

If there's demand for a minimal image with package management (someone asked for this on IRC just the other day, and it makes sense to me at least) then that's what I'd suggest turning this into. In which case it ought to be called core-image-minimal-pkgmgmt or something similar. Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
