Well, I want to have a minimalistic Distro with x.org for further experiments. So the router-config seemed to be the right way. I can't find any good docs, describing the targets. The wiki seems to be out of date (descr. version 2), no docs in the ROCK/target tree and the help in the Config is quite silent and also out of date ;). It's really not that worse, but I'm feeling very helpless, although I'm not a linux-newbe. :) Example: ROCKCFG_TARGET: - Diet LibC based ROCK Linux: A distribution using Diet LibC instead of GLibC. DietLibC is a light-weight C-Library useful for embedded systems and other low-memory devices. I can't find "Diet LibC..." entry in the menu. First thought: Do I have another Version? 2nd: Is this the right application? ;) (At all, this should be no criticism, please don't misunderstand!) Furthermore I thought, if I am choosing generic, all packages would be installed (& compiled) (help says: A generic, all-purpose distribution that has simply everything.) and all I want is a kernel, the basics (hopefully without perl) and a x-server. So what I'm going to do now (btw: thanks for help :) )? Choosing generic as target. OK Show expert-only and experimental options. OK, although I'm not an rocklinux expert ;) - Additional Package Selection: "Minimalistic package selection + X.org" chosen! Do I have to activate the "Custom package selection" and what's about the current package list? It shows me kde & all that stuff, I won't have. If I am activating "Custom package selection" no change will be shown in the current package list in Config-application. Sorry for possibly annoying, but Config-help is confusing me a bit. :s Best regards Bernd
