Sure. Although if we are asking them to ship with something perhaps our pleas will influence what they decide to do. > Regarding imagefactory and oz, it looks like those are for cloud images?

We have dvd isos, we make live images that expect to be booted to a live env (which you can then later install from), qcow2's for virt/cloud, raw disk images (where you expect to dd or use arm-image-installer to transfer to a usd card and run it), etc. We use a bunch of different tools for this currently, depending on the image: If it's a install dvd (like the server install dvd), it's made by pungi. If it's a live media (expecting to copy to a usb or the like and run live, later optional install) it's made by livemedia-creator. If it's a raw image (like current single board arm things we support) it's made by imagefactory. Our existing arm supported devices have followed the 'run arm-image-installer' to install a raw image to a usd and run from there. It might make sense to do something different for the pp and ppp... > > As for encryption, we could encrypt the filesystem in a loopback image or > with Tow Boot's USB Mass Storage mode if Plymouth could show an on screen > keyboard to decrypt it. Yeah. Lots to work out. kevin
