Hi all!
I need to install other packages and make a custom configuration of OS.

Can I do at image building time:

- Remove Armbian packages
- Add other packages
- Save configs at location /etc/
- Setup user name + password and Bash profiles

 

Just inspect and edit lib/*.sh files.

Sure. Don't try to 'edit lib/*.sh files' but use the established mechanisms:

• Documentation: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/#user-provided-image-customization-script
• Example: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/templates/customize-image.sh.template
• Be smart and search: https://www.google.com/search?rls=en&dcr=0&q=Armbian+Customization+site%3Aarmbian.com&oq=Armbian+Customization+site%3Aarmbian.com

Do not use external hooks, only gods know how well they work If you plan to maintain your on distro for a specific device, just remove whatever unneeded code from .sh files to make them simpler and more readable.

This will work with old kernel 3.4.xxx?

What order of *.sh files execution?

 

BR,

BR,

Armbian uses old kernels. The build process starts with the ../compile.sh file.  Packages to install is defined in the configuration.sh file.  Additional files are written in the distributions.sh file.
