Hi all,
OK, thanks to all the tips and tricks from yesterday in my previous thread, I got F20 Beta-5 up and running on a microSD on the BBB, completely headless, with only a network cable. Some comments:
- All the boot troubles were probably related to my attempts to push the boot button and expecting LEDs to turn on, not waiting long enough, etc. I see the instructions are adapted in the meantime.
- The lines in the FAQ about deleting systemd service links can be removed, as they do not apply anymore for the F20 Beta-5 image and are confusing.
- Just as a side note: I did not do the last 3 commands in the FAQ, but editted /etc/shadow on the image and copied an encrypted password that I know into the root entry. This might be easier for others too.
- After booting, I resized mmcblk0p3 with fdisk, rebooted, and used resize2fs to resize the fs.
Now one remaining question: is there a repository I can use for adding packages now or should I wait till F20 final is released? I want to do some experiments for applications I have in mind, for which I need to add several packages (and their dependencies.
Thanks again for all help. I'll contnue experimenting with it.
