Robert,

Thanks for the info - I have been following the steps in the 
BeagleBone+Black wiki page but encountered problems trying to write to my 
SD card (Setup microSD card step) as a result of my workstation (Ubuntu in 
a virtualbox vm on windows 8 on a macbookpro, ended up breaking my vm). In 
the end I want to have a beaglebone .img file to distribute to many 
systems, so following your steps to achieve that sounds to me like this:

1. Build beaglebone image by 
following https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black
        Completing this yields an SD card with a complete Linux image 
loaded.
2. Boot OS from the SD card, install dtb-rebuilder and edit dts files, run 
dtb-rebuilder and reboot
        After this we have the working OS I wish to distribute
3. Use a utility to rip the SD card image for distribution

Is this a correct process for retrieving the .img file I want? Is there a 
better way to build a .img than ripping it from the SD card? I tried to use 
image-builder but there is no way to edit the dts during the build (that I 
could figure out)

Thank you so much for your help!
- Ethan
