11.4 Extending an Image

Extending an image means including new software packages into the image.
To extend the minimal image to provide the vi editor, it is only necessary to
add the vim package to the list of packages marked for installation. The pack-
age required is called vim and is part of the SLRS. There are two possibilities
to add a package to the list:
1. Add the package to the setup file, which can be found in the image de-
scription tree. After this, adapt the size parameter of config file, which
can be found in the description tree.
