JackOfAll, great work with the image, it was easy to install and very
clear instructions in the beginning of the thread, thanks a lot for your
work to make this as simple and possible. I got it all working a lot
faster than I had expected.

Just to help other people and give you some ideas of things that might
be worth to improve, the main issues I had was:
1. How to switch it to use the analoge output
- I just run "squeezelite -l" and picked the first device in the list
"default:CARD=sgtl5000audio" and edited the -o parameter in
/etc/sysconfig/squeezelite
- I changed the Mac address in the -m parameter and also changed the -a
parameter to ::16: which was mentioned later in the thread.
- It had very low volume at start, using alsamixer to raise "Headphone"
and "PCM" to 100% and also raise the volume in LMS to 100% solved that.
- Used "sudo alsactl store 0" to ensure it survives a reboot
- After this it works properly and all these instructions was actually
in the thread, so it was just me being a bit too excited to get things
going and not reading the instructions that caused the struggling. I
know the analoge output is not the best option but it was the only free
cable/connection I had available for my amplifier at the time. 

2. I had some issue to connect the WiFi to my Airport Extreme WiFi
router
- It's not something I've solved and I've seen other devices have
similar issues previously so I suspect it's not caused by the Wandboard,
just thought I'd mention it in case someone else have similar issues.
- The WiFi works properly when I switched it to connect to my D-Link
WiFi network instead.

3. It hangs during reboot
- Removing the
/usr/lib/systemd/system/shutdown.target.wants/alsa-store.service file
seems to solve that

4. NFS mounting didn't mount automatically
- The NFS mount to your vortexbox obviously doesn't work in my setup, so
I adjusted /etc/fstab to point to the NFS share on my own NAS and also
had to change "noauto" to "auto" in the /etc/fstab row to make it mount
at boot.


A question I have is if it is safe to rename the clivem user to
something else or will this break anything ?
I'm just asking because I would prefer to have a user with the same name
and UID as my other machines to make it as smooth as possible to access
NFS shares from the NAS from the wandboard.


Now, a stupid question (don't feel obligated to answer if you don't have
the time).
If I wanted to compile some programs for the Wandboard, my idea was to:
1. Setup an Ubuntu VirtualBox machine (because I want to build it on a
separate machine and I'm used to Ubuntu)
2. Install the toolchain you seem to have been using:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/toolchains/angstrom-2011.03-x86_64-linux-armv7a-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar.bz2

Is this the best way to do it or should I handle it some other way to
make it easier ?
Do I need anything else than the above toolchain ? 
As an example, there seems to be some Wandboard SDK on their download
page: http://wandboard.org/index.php/downloads, is this needed to
compile programs (I'm not planing to compile the kernel) ?


Finally, is there anything in particular you would like people with a
wandboard to help you try if it works or not ?
