Hi,

I'm trying to create a minimal GPLv3-free x86 image using the yocto project. As 
I'm looking for ways around the GPLv3 license, I'm unable to use certain 
packages (such as the live-install which depends on parted, and grub-2.0).


Instead I'm trying to create a minimal filesystem, stored as a tarball, which 
includes grub-0.97. To install the image in the target environment (currently a 
virtual machine) I use a small bootable linux image used to set up the 
partitions and extracting the tarball image. After doing so, I mount proc and 
dev to be able to chroot into the target file system and run grub-install (to 
set up grub in the mbr). However, grub-install seem to segfault (a lot), and 
later prints out that the installation was successful.


This methodology has previously been working with gentoo minimal builds.


It feels like I can't be the only one who is in need of a minimalistic 
GPLv3-free x86 build, is there someone here who might be able to guide me in 
the right direction?


Regards,
Dan
