It would be great if you can build a generic image with /usr/share/uboot
and on the wiki provide instructions to use the fedora-arm-installer.
Or ask over on the Fedora-arm devel team if we can make a
centos-arm-installer from it.
We might get a larger take up.
Stay tune for some new thoughts about things I would like to figure out
how to best handle...
And thank you for all you have done to get us to this point.
