( with hacks ) alter the default partition sizes etc.

Does it still work like mentioned here?

How to set root filesystem partition size on x86 ImabeBuilder?

In this case you can edit .config in the imagebuilder directly and adjust CONFIG_TARGET_KERNEL_PARTSIZE and CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_PARTSIZE. Alternatively it should be able to to pass these values directly to the make image call: make image PROFILE=foo PACKGES="..." CONFIG_TARGET_KERNEL_PARTSIZE=16 CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_PARTSIZE=256

(Which is also not mentioned in the documentation it seems)

Also: If I change it to something bigger than the available RAM (in my case 4GB RAM, but the SSD is 16GB), will that break it with the next update as the old image will not fit into the RAM?
