Re: Emdebian worksession proposal

[Brendan Simon <Brendan@BrendanSimon.com>]

One thing I'd like is less dependencies on some core packages.  eg. 
networking devices don't need any graphics libraries.  Last time I 
looked there was some kind of dependency on a graphics/video packages/s 
as the primary target device was a iPAQ (some something similar).

Maybe things have changed ???

Cheers, Brendan.
