Hi everybody,

Based on the feedback on these images I've gone through a few more 
iterations of the build scripts and they've had some testing (thanks 
dmarlin, pbrobinson and smooge!).

There are now images for:

   Trimslice (hard float, mmc and sda)
   Panda (hard float, mmc, and sda)
   Beagle (hard/soft, mmc)

To install the image a command just use a command like:

   xzcat f17arm-latest-armhfp-trimslice-mmcblk0.img.xz > /dev/device

For reasons I'm not acquainted with using dd with a large bs value 
sometimes results in bad writes, so if you use dd keep bs small.

Each image decompresses to 1900MB.  Upon first boot it will begin the 
process of auto-resize the / partition to its full capacity.  A second 
boot will complete the process (This is done using a modified version of 
Chris Tyler's raspberry pi remix resize script).

All scripts used to generate the images is included in the same 
directory.  Next up will likely be a unified trimslice/panda image. Fun!
