[Openembedded-users] Overlaying files in a rootfs image

[Charles Manning]

Hello

I want to do is generate a modified rootfs image that basically takes a 
standard image build (omap3-console-image) but then overlays it with some of 
my own files to replace some of the files in a standard image.

I tried making my overlay into a package and then just added that to the 
IMAGE_INSTALL of a modified omap3-console-image.bb

That didn't work because opgk-cl complained that there were two files to 
install: one in the original package and one in the overlay that I wanted to 
use.

This is surely quite a common problem (eg. tweaking an init script) so there 
must be any easy way to do this.

Any info/hints appreciated.
