======SD Card Install======

This is a Fedora 17 Hard Float Trimslice Image suitable for writing to an SD card and placed in the Trimslice's Full Size SD slot (Front slot)
and booting without further modification.
Write with xzcat file.xz > /dev/mmcblkX, put in the device, and you're ready to go. Boots to a serial console.
Most of the SD card images can be used with a USB storage device drive using the following method:
Write the image to both the USB storage device and an SD card. IE, write the image using xzcat file.xz > /dev/sdX then xzcat file.xz > /dev/mmcblkX.
Once written, use a partition editor such as fdisk to delete the VFAT partition from the USB drive and the Linux partition from SD card.
Plug the SD and USB storage into your ARM device and power up.
The ARM system will load any applicable bootloader pieces, kernel, and initramfs from the SD card, but use the USB storage for the root filesystem.
Nearly images are self-sufficient, but a kernel tarball is optionally available with the contents of the image's /boot and /lib/modules directories.
These can be used in conjunction with the tarball root filesystems to create your own images.
