Hi René,

I think -list lists all package, -list-missing should give you a real overview.
I'm afraid not:

$ ./scripts/Download -list-missing | wc -l
3279
$ head config/default/config
#
# T2 7.0-stable Config File
#
export SDECFG_TARGET='generic'
export SDECFG_PKGSEL_TPL='minimal'
export SDECFG_IMAGE='install'
export SDECFG_ARCH='x86'
export SDECFG_X86_OPT='pentium4'

By default T2 uses an optimized initrd and for this uses dietlibc and embutils. But
as they are tiny they should be just a tiny percentage of other must-have packages,
such as gcc.
So, how do I, for example, choose sysvinit instead? Would ./scripts/Build-Target sysvinit bypass the building of initrd and its dependencies or do I have to do something else? And if I wanted to say, use FSF binutils instead of the kernel.org package, would I have to write my own package description?
