At first: Thank you! Thats great. Two things to mention (ubuntu image):

  1. apt-get update results in: “Failed to fetch apt.armbian.com/dists/trusty/InRelease”. Upgrade works.
  2. At first boot, the system is expanding to the whole sd-card. The problem is: If one wants to clone the card (e.g. with additional software) this can cause a problem, because the SD-cards do not have always the same size (8GB != 8GB). And I do not know if a shrinking of the memory is a clean solution.

Cheers Thomas

  1. Hmm, this should not happen. Do apt-get update and try again … maybe you did when repository was not yet populated to all servers. This can happen.
  2. This suppose to be a feature not a bug :wink: If you want to create an image with additional software, take a look at my build script. It was designed for such scenarios. https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib

Thanks for your feed back!
