I build the Ubuntu20.04 Gnome version, but when building an image, I have question about the following.
modify rootfs package
-add new package, remove not used package
-change emmc(rootfs) partition size
Please share any descriptions or documents you may wish to refer to.
Thank you.

-change emmc(rootfs) partition size
start krescue from SD
goto krescue shell
root@Krescue:~# blkid | grep ROOTFS
/dev/mmcblk2p2: LABEL="ROOTFS" UUID="e5167dcc-5e89-402b-913a-ced587267ba7" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="a6bde280-02"
change rootfs size to 4G - EXAMPLE
root@Krescue:~# resize2fs /dev/mmcblk2p2 4G
resize2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/mmcblk2p2 to 1048576 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/mmcblk2p2 is now 1048576 (4k) blocks long.
next step is change partitions by hands - recreate last partition with same size as resized rootfs is 4G - sure u can create other partitions if u need it
fdisk /dev/mmcblk2
write and flush all changes and reboot
GOODLUCK

Thank you for answer . My question is change the rootfs size during build.
I want to make it for a single application device based on ubuntu.
We will remove all unused packages from the build environment and add necessary packages.
Please respond to inquiries about how to add/remove packages.

check fenix build script - and change it
rootfs created as minimal and resized to maximal size (depend of emmc size)
Please respond to inquiries about how to add/remove packages.
same check build sources scripts - all packages there
@hyphop which particular script should be modified ?
which script executes “make” process ?

Thank you for answer. But I didn’t understand.
For example, if I want to install the samba server in the build environment, the following process is required.
Install package
package configuration
Start service
During the build process 1. should be done, and it should be done 2. when creating the rootfs image.
If possible, please tell me how to add a package using samba as an example.
Also, if you have any documents for reference, please share them.
Thank you.
Yes, @hyphop can you provide us with a sample… ?
for example how to make the samba server/ or xrdp etc. pre installed in ubuntu while making the image with fenix…

edit fenix/config/config
grep PACKAGE_LIST_ADDITIONAL= fenix/config/config -A6
PACKAGE_LIST_ADDITIONAL="wget nano alsa-utils btrfs-progs dosfstools hddtemp iotop iozone3 stress sysbench screen ntfs-3g vim pciutils \
evtest htop mmc-utils pv lsof libfuse2 libdigest-sha-perl libproc-processtable-perl aptitude dnsutils f3 haveged \

add next string - its just example u must define necessary packages in this string
PACKAGE_LIST_ADDITIONAL="$PACKAGE_LIST_ADDITIONAL samba-common xrdp supertux"
or
PACKAGE_LIST_ADDITIONAL="$PACKAGE_LIST_ADDITIONAL $PACKAGE_LIST_USER"
PS: i will push this feature in next fenix something like this
export PACKAGE_LIST_USER="samba-common xrdp supertux"
make

Thank you for reply. I will check it.
Yes, Thank you for your reply
I will try a test build and see if it works,
btw, how can we change the apt-package sources in fenix,
for obtaining packages from other distribution? Is that also in the configs ?
will you let Hyphop work today?
while you can cut a new box for SBC
I will, I just want to get my doubt clarified…
I would be making boxes, If I hadn’t run out of materials…
