(ARCHIVED) Ubuntu Xenial Image (BSP Kernel)

[texadactyl]

I also built a mimimal Ubuntu image combined with the the BSP Kernel and my image building gear. Similar to the Arch Image **this image is intended for developers. If you are looking for accelerated 2D/3D or video decoding use Android** and do not bother with trying this image.


Let me know what you think.

Longsleep,

  Noob nere. I keep seeing "image." Ubuntu image, download image, etc, etc image.
I thought images were pictures.
What exactly does it mean to say; "Ubuntu image"?
Thank you.

He means a disk volume image.  A disk volume image generally takes the form of a file which is input to the Unix/Linux `dd` utility in creating the actual disk volume.

Ah, so the "disk volume image" creates the place on your SD card for the distro to run?

Roughly, yes.  The disk volume image is a file which is isomorphic to an entire disk of any type: HDD, SSD, USB, MicroSD, etc.  This file is often compressed in some form so to conserve storage and minimize download time.
