It boots and works well enough for starters on both the Cubietruck and 
Cubieboard2.

It was a little bit of work to make a bootable mSD for the C2; I hope 
later releases will be better.

1)    Sata boot worked easily by only have the uboot on the mSD and the 
3 partitions on the HD.

2)    Auto-resize worked fine for a mSD image.  Minimally it should be a 
script to run, rather than cut-n-paste from a README
     a)    Auto-resize did not work for a 320Gb sata HD, so don't make 
the resize automative in firstboot!

3)    Serious need of a timesync process of some sort.  Having to 
manually set the system time after each boot is not good.

4)    Should adopt the Fedora-arm image install methodology to pick up 
more boards.

This is all the testing I will do at this point.  I await the packages 
repo so I can install stuff like httpd and bind.
