Deploying Ubuntu Core

Requirements
  *     Ubuntu Core rootfs
  *     Linux kernel for target device
  *     boot-loader for target device 

Procedure:

  *     Format target media: at least one partition should be ext2, ext3, or ext4
  *     Unpack Ubuntu Core to ext{2,3,4} partition
  *     Install boot-loader
  *     Install Linux
  *     Add a local user and password for the user, then add the user to the adm and sudo groups.

If the Linux kernel requires modules, add these to /lib/modules/$(uname -r) in the ext{2,3,4} file system

On the SD Card rootfs partition, edit the file /etc/shadow, line for the root user, and remove the '*' character in between the semi-colons. Now you will be able to login as root without a password.

  * Boot the target device
  * Setup the network
<code>
/usr/lib/klibc/bin/ipconfig eth0
</code>
  * Install any additional required software using apt-get (run "apt-get update" first)

Edit your /etc/network/interfaces file and add the bottom 2 lines: 

<code>
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
</code>

Add this if DNS server is not set by dhcp
<code>
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
</code>

The folowing packages might be necessary for you system:
<code>
apt-get update
apt-get install net-tools
apt-get install ppp
apt-get install usbutils
apt-get install inetutils-ping
</code>
