There are certain things only required in a
small/embedded environment, such as:
1. Dynamic linking of /sbin and /bin
2. Mounting / readonly
3. Picking *exactly* the binaries to install
4. Special make flags to reduce library dependencies
These issues will not and cannot be dealt with
by the default installer.
