Hi!

At the moment it like this:

You start out with a already big image setup.

And then you add even more stuff.

After that, you want to remove lots of it again.

While that maybe technically works, its pretty pointless. You first 
waste a lot of compilation time in generating stuff, which you then need 
additional time to remove again.

The correct approach is to create an image recipe that exactly fits your 
needs. Usually one would start out with core-image-minimal.bb, copy that 
to your-cool-image.bb, and then add the additionally wanted packages in 
there.
