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.
