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:

~/Downloads$ sudo fdisk -lu Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw

Disk Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw: 3.5 GiB, 3726639104 bytes, 7278592 sectors

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

The 2nd partition looks promising.
