[Openembedded-users] Building a simple Distro

Hi Rahul

Thanks for the links. I checked them but did not really find what I was 
looking for. This is the stuff I want to do in step 2 :-)
At first I want to build an "out of the box"-System so I tried the 
angstrom-2008.1 which failed a couple of times, but nevertheless 
succeeded to build in the end.

I'm still facing the same problem that I don't have any mouse and/or 
keyboard support and all I'm getting is the first screen to provide new 
user information.

What do I have to add in IMAGE_INSTALL +=" ??? " to get either one of it 
or even both working?

Thank you

	Felix
