Looking at how easy it is to build a coin pusher arcade machine
(random) -
diskimage-fu, probably worth a black belt:
Part 1 (in a amd64 VM):
- Download blank Raspbian image
- Create a blank loop file
- Mount both, original image and new image
- Create a slightly modified similar partition layout, format partitions
- Rsync everything to the new image
- Create NFS export from the mounted target
- Flash a modified version of the image (just the boot partition including the kernel and a few firmware drivers) to a SD card. Slightly modify the kernel command line to actually mount the root partition ("/") via NFS
Part 2 (on ARM based device)
8. Fire up your ARM based device with the SD card
9. Modify image (update packages, install software, purge stuff, modify configs)
10. ShutdownPart 3 (within the VM)
11. Flush file buffers, un-export, unmount, un-loop & stop NFS server
12. Flash final image to SD cardCompletely scripted.
My previous plan (using a chroot on an ARM based CPU) worked too, but it was very slow due to the old Banana Pro I had spare. The new version is even cooler because I can run the real environment (incl. the desktop) on real hardware without flashing a full distro to an SD card.

I don't mind it actually, ML has slowed to where I can accomplish my work and keep up with the conversation

Been to busy to notice. Spent ninety minutes on the phone with a client as their servers had booted. That was fun. About a half dozen other calls as well.

This is what I was looking for. Clean, simple, small.
Nearly perfect. But no slots for 120/140mm fans...

@thwr 80mm are ok but you need to spend big $$$ to get decent ones.

OMG OMG OMG I just had lunch with Ed Tittel... one of the most influential IT writers not just in the industry but for me personally. When I talk about how I learned nearly everything in IT from books that I read, no author was more significant for that for me than Ed. I didn't realize that it was him until after lunch.
