Are you familiar with kickstarts for centos installations? That's
essentially how I generate the disk image. If you wanted to contribute a
kickstart that created the disk layout you see as feasible I can
incorporate that into the builds. It might help if I create project on
github with the scripts used to generate the various aarch64 images.


The livemedia-creator tool also allows for the creation of a rootfs
tarball, so would publishing a raw tarball of an installed system be
beneficial to you for generating images for various boards?


As to the kernel pieces, I don't want to get into the business of
tracking/shipping vendor kernels. I'd much rather either patch support
into the kernel-aarch64 we already ship, or provide a simple means for
the user to generate an image based on the vendor kernel (thus assuming
the risk/liability).
