-====== Raspberry Pi Imaging ====== 
  
-Base contents of the image: 
-  * ArchLinux ARM 
-  * The following have been installed/​configured:​ 
-    * nss-pam-ldapd 
-    * krb5  
-    * pam-krb5 (aur) 
-    * acm-pam ([[linux:​acm_custom_repo|acm repo]]) 
-    * acm-admins-sudo ([[linux:​acm_custom_repo|acm repo]]) 
-    * base-devel 
-    * vim 
-    * yaourt 
-  * New regenerated SSH host keys are generated on first boot. 
-  * Authenticating through ACM AD. 
-

-====== Creating the image ====== 
- 
-  - Generate all changes on the working Raspberry Pi. 
-  - If you are making a generic raspberry pi base image, you need to make sure the ssh_host keys are regenerated on any new raspberry pi this image will be used on. (i.e. They should be unique) 
-    - On ArchLinux-ARM,​ you are free to just delete ''/​etc/​ssh/​ssh_host_*''​. They will be regenerated by a service on next boot. (You should capture the image, before the next startup.) 
-  - On a computer with SD card reader: 
-    - Mount the SD card from the raspberry pi. 
-    - ''​tar -zcf <​image_save.tar.gz>​ -C <path to mounted sd card> . --sparsed''​ 
-      - (e.g.: ''​tar -zcf image3192016.tar.gz -C /​run/​media/​acmguest/​6b454c87-8b79-40b4-9361-e63ce0264ef2/​ . --sparse''​) 
-      - Currently, the image for rPi2 sits at about 2.3G uncompressed,​ 548MB after gzipping. 
- 
-====== Restoring the image ====== 
- 
-  - On a computer with an SD card reader: 
-    - Mount the SD card that you will be using for the raspberry pi. 
-    - Start fdisk to partition the SD card: ''​fdisk /​dev/​sdX''​ 
-    - At the fdisk prompt, delete old partitions and create a new one:  
-      - Type o. This will clear out any partitions on the drive. ​ 
-      - Type p to list partitions. There should be no partitions left.  
-      - Type n, then p for primary, 1 for the first partition on the drive, press ENTER to accept the default first sector, then type +100M for the last sector. ​ 
-      - Type t, then c to set the first partition to type W95 FAT32 (LBA). ​ 
-      - Type n, then p for primary, 2 for the second partition on the drive, and then press ENTER twice to accept the default first and last sector. ​ 
-      - Write the partition table and exit by typing w. 
-    - Create and mount the FAT filesystem: ​ 
-      - <​code>​mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX1 
-mkdir boot 
-mount /dev/sdX1 boot</​code>​ 
-    - Create and mount the ext4 filesystem: 
-      - <​code>​mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX2 
-mkdir root 
-mount /dev/sdX2 root</​code>​ 
-    - Write the image to the main partition: ''​bsdtar -xpf image3192016.tar.gz -C root''​ 
-    - Commit all pending writes to physical media: ''​sync''​ 
-    - Move boot files to the first partition: ''​mv root/boot/* boot''​ 
-    - Unmount the two partitions: ''​umount boot root''​ 
-  - Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi, connect ethernet, and apply 5V power. ​ 
-  - You should be good to login!
