But with 19 base images now available, we have already outgrown the capacity of this UI widget (the guidelines recommend using them when you have between 3 and 10 items). I filed bug 2345 (nice number) to look at alternative ways of presenting and selecting base images in Hob. =20 The solution I am looking at is based on grouping the base images. I thought I might ask for some help from the list to create those groups. This is what I've come up with: Group 1: Stripped-down images. It includes: core-image-base core-image-basic core-image-minimal core-image-minimal-dev core-image-minimal-initramfs core-image-minimal-mtdutils Group 2: GUI images. It includes: core-image-clutter core-image-core core-image-sato core-image-sato-dev core-image-sato-sdk qt4e-demo-image Group 3: LSB-conforming. It includes: core-image-lsb core-image-lsb-dev core-image-lsb-sdk Group 4: For real-time use. It includes: core-image-rt core-image-rt-sdk Group 5 is just the self-hosted-image Group 6 would be the 'Create you own image' option Any suggestions on how to better group these images and recommendations on how to name the groups would be very welcome. Thanks!
