Re: Slim down Raspbian?

what's wrong with just using the raspbian installer on the raspbian website to build your own stripped down image? This is what I've done, it just has ssh running and nothing else (aside from the base OS of course). That's way easier than installing the full raspbian official image and then trying t...

Re: Slim down Raspbian?

I'll be posting this stripped image shortly at http://www.pi-point.co.uk in case it's any use for you to build what you need on top of. Rather than post a stripped image, wouldn't it be easier to post a script that converts the standard Raspbian into a "stripped" image, and then installs whatever b...

Re: Slim down Raspbian?

I have a 'stripped' version of Raspbian available called Raspbian Server Edition
I've stripped out as much as I could while retaining functionality for a server, but you could use that as a starting point and just install X / Openbox / Iceweasel / OpenJDK ?

Slim down Raspbian?

Has anyone tried to slim down Raspbian? I am ultimately looking to minimize Raspbian to simply be X+OpenBox+IceWeasel+OpenJDK. That's it.

Any direction or thoughts in how I could do this, would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Default DE with Rdesktop

But recently I started using Rdesktop to access the Pi through a remote desktop on my laptop and that skips SLIM resulting in LXDE starting instead. ...

Re: The piPhone

I don't think a flat battery would be a huge deal. Most "extra life" battery chargers for phones are coming pretty slim these days as they're designed for taking on the go. And the majority of them will be 700mah or higher at 5v so it's just right to power the Pi for a quick call. ...

Re: Tablets

You may be able to get a touchscreen to work and to get a case that holds the touchscreen and pi in a somewhat slim package, but you will probably not get Ubuntu to run on the PI as Cononical doesn't support any arm processors anymore.

Re: Keyboard unrecognized

This problem usually occurs when either the keyboard requires more than 100mA or when the power supply used for powering the Pi is rated less than the recommended 700mA. Your desktop can provide more juice to the USB ports which is probably why they run fine on there. See this post at the wiki for m...
