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). -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77
