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.
