There are no fixed lists in the strip code now anymore. Beside that it's possible to: * add items to existing drivers sections from within the system image * add strip sections and therefore override the default from within the system image Especially the strip section is new. kiwi provides default sections in modules/KIWIConfig.txt. Basically there are three types of strip sections: 1. type="delete" remove all files listed here 2. type="tools" remove all binaries from bin|sbin /usr/bin|sbin locations except for the ones listed here 3. type="libs" check with ldd and remove all those libraries with no reference except for the ones listed here if no strip sections are provided in the system image xml the default ones are used. That way the user has full control over the contents of the initrd Robert does this meet your needs ? It would be great if you can add some documentation about this change in the kiwi docs. Your writing sounds so much better than mine Thanks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
