Fedora Running On Pine64!

[heatfanjohn]

I downloaded the server ARM image for Fedora 26 `Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz` and uncompressed it.

    unxz Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz

Then thanks to [this SO answer](https://askubuntu.com/questions/69363/mo...isk-device) I was able to mount the various partitions inside this raw image.  For example for the `/boot` partition:

Code:

From this it appears that this image is geared for a Raspberry Pi device.

The 2nd partition looks promising.

The 2.3 GB 4th partition is the root file system of Fedora:
