A running linux system, but not necessarily ARM.

For the image creation I do now something similar:
- create partitions (either on a .img file or directly on SD)
- format partitions
- mount under /blah and /blah/boot
- yum install a specific set of packages to /blah
- some little tweaks (set password, enable chrony, etc)
- done

we could try to describe "cookbooks" on the wiki. So instead of an fixed
image, people would always create something uptodate.
