It is important we get this validation of the generic board approach taken by fedora-arm and that it works with our images.
It is the more practical way forward to get a solid uptake here.
The approach Fedora takes, the one you suggested for BBB and the one I am suggesting are all the same in effect. The only difference is that RootFS Build Factory uses u-boot from the my github repo rather than taking it from the the uboot-images-armv7 package in the new centos rootfs. This has been changed in the new cubietruck templates.
I understand that. But the Fedora approach results in one build of the image and everyone downloads that and customizes it for their board. Less resources on everyone's part. It will e more attractive to newcomers when the steps are:
download the image run the install script to a mSD card install mSD card on arm board boot
Thank you for all you have done for this project.
