Hi,<br>I recently started moving our mobile robots toward ROS.<br>But i had some problems with heavy dependencies on ROS binary packages.<br>Our robots are build around embedded PC104 PC with 4GB CF drive.<br>We use it with minimal installation of ubuntu linux.<br>

<br>When i tried to install ROS from repo, i realized that only ros-cturtle-ros require more than 1GB of dependencies.<br>Many core ROS packages depends on X11, texlive, wx, opengl ... , witch are useless on board of mobile robot.<br>

<br>I think that the GUI utilities should be separated from their stacks, that fine-grained packaging will make packaging system more flexible.<br><br clear="all">Pozdrawiam<br>Konrad Banachowicz<br>
