Ok I've searched the internet on this topic with little or no success. I know that the ide drivers must be included during the compile of an image. But my question is, is it possible to add the menus and necessary hdd files to a basic image, if the drivers were included during the compile? If any one has the time a tutorial would be great telling you:
1. How to check if the drivers are there (which files should i look for).
2. How to add the ide menus (if possible after compile).
3. Which other files should be added, to make the items in the menus work.
4. Which files could be removed to free up space.
Obviously all this would be dependant on the type of image, I'm guessing with a squashed image there could be some problems.
The reason I ask all of the above, is that I've found a lot of images with ide driver menus that do not work correctly or the hdd files are missing (credit to NJLworld for mentioning this on his latest image post).
In summary, it would be good for myself and others to know how to add this functionality to an image, we could then perhaps repost the images for the peeps with ide interfaces.
