  from what i understand, if you want a quick addition to an existing
image, one solution is to add the following line to your local.conf
file:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " minicom"

or for multiple packages:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " mimicom curl"

then just run "bitbake" again to produce a new image.

  is it safe to say that that is at least one of the accepted
techniques for this?
