Hi, (Sorry this is late, didn't hit Reply-All yesterday!)
For those who don't want a (hopefully) easier time creating images, you can try a new tool in linaro-image-tools that hasn't made it into the PPA yet: bzr checkout lp:linaro-image-tools In linaro-image-tools there are two scripts of interest. First off is a simple command line script that will download the files for your hardware and the OS you specify. The output will look familiar to users of linaro-media-create :-) As an example, if you have a panda board and want to test Ubuntu desktop you will want to run: ./fetch_image.py --hardware panda --image ubuntu-desktop --platform snapshot --build latest --hwpack panda --mmc <path to your device> If, like me, you prefer a GUI there is an option for you too. Running fetch_image_ui.py will bring up a wizard that will guide you through the process of creating an image. It requires wxPython (python-wxgtk2.8). I hope they are useful.
