Pi-Star Image Updates

30 June 2015

Now that I have Pi-Star mostly stable (by stable I mean feature stable, the platform is already very stable), its time to do somthing about the size of the download. Its currently 800MB (once compressed) , and doesnt need to be this large.

The next project is to rebuild the base system from the ground up, not including any of the things that are not needed. For example, Pi-Star has no need of the GUI at all, it never uses it, especially since all of the config is done via the web portal, with advanced config done on the command line.

I managed to get the system base down to 350MB before compression, thats not bad but it has balooned to 2GB with all of the software / compilers installed. Once I have the G4KLX software compiled, we'll see just how small the download comes out!
