With respect to Fedora, it would be pretty nice if I could install F23 on my Minnowboard Max and have it use config_distro_bootcmd stuff. I think I mentioned this to Hans at ELCE and he said I probably just need to ask and x86 can have the same extlinux.conf generation stuff that ARM has :) I of course need to go whack the minnow config in U-Boot, but that's on me.. -- Tom
