It looks like xz just died, it should remove
"BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.3-2014-01-14-2gb.img" when done..

I changed that this week, seemed kinda silly calling it "console" when
obviously an 'lxde' image..

The "armhf" is the name of the debian port we are using..

https://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort

Default gcc compile settings: --with-arch=armv7-a --with-fpu=vfpv3-d16
--with-float=hard --with-mode=thumb

This script also supports the older "armel" and plans for the "arm64"
archs.. You could do x86, but that would be silly..

The ship.sh file came out of me being lazy about a week ago, it's not
really tested beyond debian jessie..
