Well I got my first Cubieboard. A C2. It is booting Android, but so far I can't get ethernet working; it is reporting 'disconnected'.
But I want to be able to boot either Android or Fedora. I am told that the boot process checks for rootfs on an SD card and if it finds it, boots that, if not it boots what is in NAND.
So I am trying to find the tutorial for installing Fedora (and I naturally want F20). I get it that to do an update I will need a '--exclude kernel*' option.
So I am looking for the tutorial. I have found: http://rwmj.wordpress.com/page/10/ that points me to:
scotland.proximity.on.ca/contrib-images/hansg/
But no response to this page. So can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks I will let you know how the build goes. Can I run yum update with this, or do I have to exclude kernel* ??
If your using the mainline rawhide image you can update the kernel as per normal. You just have you use the uboot referenced at the link above.
I need to get Fedora up and running, as the builtin Android is claiming the ethernet is disconnected and I don't know how to trouble shoot on Android, but I sure now how to on Fedora (I started on Fedora with 8, but Centos, well I switched to it when Whitehat folded). I was starting to build the F19, as at least that would give me something Fedora to work with.
Finally do you have a uboot for rawhide on the Cubieboard2?
Use the uboot referenced above and then use mainline rawhide.
The uboot that Hans has in his f20 build? I can pull that off the /uboot directory.
Just trying to make sure I got this and am noting down the steps! I will report my progress here.
thanks
