[Arm-dev] Building CentOS7 userland for ARM64 server boards

[Scott Branden]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the pointer (I know nothing about CentOS).

I assume the ReadMe.txt you are referring to is here:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/ReadMe.txt


Is there a getting started page somewhere I am missing?

Where do I get the livemedia-creator tool from?


Do I download CentOS-7-aarch64-Everything.iso or what is it used for?


Thanks,

  Scott
