Create Debian disk images that can be used to boot Novena systems.
The script comes with a help screen that can be used to customize the resulting image. For examples, see wraper scripts such as "mmc-install.sh" and "sata-install.sh".
novena-image.sh can be run on ARM or non-ARM systems. Running on a
non-ARM system is a "cross-build" and uses qemu-user to complete the
installation. This require the executable qemu-arm-static to be
available somewhere on the PATH. The package that supplies
qemu-arm-static on Debian is qemu-user-static, on Ubuntu it's
qemu-arm-static.
There may be problems when running on armv7l systems that are set up as soft-float (not tested, not a common configuration).
Different board configurations have different suggested package lists. This is because different boards have different SD sizes installed.
For the 4 GB "Bare Board" model and laptop recovery partition, we recommend the following package list:
-l "sudo openssh-server ntp ntpdate dosfstools novena-eeprom \
xserver-xorg-video-modesetting arandr user-setup vim emacs \
hicolor-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme keychain locales evtest \

For the 16 GB "Desktop" model and the SSD-based "Laptop" models, the following, more-complete package list is recommended:
