For the moment I am holding off doing this for exactly this reason - I
don't think we should be distributing an arch image include the arch
root file system.

If you can stand the two stage process of booting the wandboard into
another distro and then using the create-sdcard script I think it is
reasonably user friendly (it also enables a couple of things which a
straight arch install won't do such as enable ntp and set the number of
cpus for makepkg)

My current thoughts are to make jivelite, lms and wandboard kernel
optional installs which are controlled from the web ui.  This should
mean that people don't need to ssh to the device to install them.  I'm
still thinking about whether we should do a binary repo for the soa
specific components and whether we can make the original install easier.
