15 I have proposed this some time ago, but the answers I have gotten, said to
16 better use base/packages and remove what I do not need.
17 If we will replace most of the stuff w/ busybox and the baselayout-lite
18 will work w/ it (haven't tested the lite version), then a core replacement
19 would be more adequate.

21 packages.build should be the minimal list
22
23 If you do that (new core), remove the parent and add all the required apps
24 to uclibc/packages
