[Gumstix-users] How to start desktop

[Fox, T. <Trevor.Fox@QinetiQ-NA.com>]

HI, I have a chestnut43 board, and it is coming up to the Angstrom
command prompt.
I would like to start the desktop.
What command do I give it to do this?
Thanks,

Trevor

Darren,
I'm not sure if this applies to your situation, but I've never seen this
documented anywhere.
I found that you cannot successfully build OE if the tree resides on an
NTFS disk.
The errors were odd (obviously associated with permission problems).

Jay

Yeah I understand that part, but I watched what bitbake was doing for my
build 
for the omap3-console-image and it's fetching stuff like gtk, which
didn't seem 
necessary for a non X11 build.  I'm also not terribly interested that
the 
embedded image has stuff like man, help, etc.  Is there any way to
easily cut 
all that stuff out and get the install size/time down to something more 
manageable?

Well remember you're building the full toolchain including the cross
compilers then the linux kernel and all the other supporting programs
and
utilities from source and then packaging them into an image.
