Abstract:
1. A method comprising: accessing loading information that identifies a mandatory data package to be loaded onto a storage device of a machine, a first optional data package, and a first storage requirement of the first optional data package, the accessing of the loading information being performed by a configuration module; comparing the first storage requirement of the first optional data package to a second storage requirement of a second optional data package, the comparing of the first storage requirement to the second storage requirement being performed to select the first optional data package as a potential data package by the configuration module for loading; determining that the potential data package is not to be loaded onto the storage device, the determining being performed by the configuration module based on comparing only an available storage capacity of the storage device of the machine and the first optional data package being selected by the configuration module as the potential data package; generating a data set that indicates at least, the mandatory data package is selected for loading onto the storage device and that does not indicate the first optional package is selected for loading onto the storage device, the data set being usable to generate instructions to load at least the mandatory data package without the first optional data package onto the storage device, the generating of the data set being performed by the configuration module based on the determining that the potential data package is not to be loaded onto the storage device; and storing the data set on a machine-readable medium, the storing of the data set being caused by a storage module.
