Re: Common Control Libraries

Ok I found another point. I was asking myself If I can get smaller
footprint with the Standard PC instead of the ACPI Uniprocessor PC I'm
currently using. I tried it, started a new configuration with standard
PC. I get a xpe image of 20meg with 130 components fully working... I
can type the command 'dir' in console!! :)

Looking at this new configuration, I see that the common control
libraries aren't required.
I found that I made a mistake previously saying that <Class Installer -
Disk drives> as a dependency upon <Class Install Library - Storprop>.
It is not true. So in my old configuration common control libraries
aren't required if I remove the storprop component.

Here is the build log of the Standard PC Configuration :

Some of the Intel component aren't in the xpe database when shipped. I
componentized some of them.

Do you know if there is a way to access the <Base component>? So we
will be able to start degisning a configuration directly from it, just
to see the capabilities...

Jonathan

My XPE image will only execute basic console command at startup to
reinitialize a system, formating, partitionning, ghosting, copying...
the applications I use for these tasks dont have any GUI, all console
mode. This is why I thought the common control libraries aren't needed
in my image. I will have to validate that theses applications dont have
any dependencies with the common control libraries. My configuration
contains less than 200 components, do you want me to past the build log
here? I've already located the big components, common control libraries
was a part of them. Will continue my investigation :)

A .sld for a very small image suitable for setting up a system via PXE
boot would probably be very popular if it were uploaded to xpefiles.com.
