This page describe the process to build a root filesystem for an armel target device from scratch.

A script that automates this process was created by the ubuntu mobile team, it can be downloaded here

The following example will create a tarball of a xubuntu-desktop based image for your target device (i.e. a beagleboard):

./build-arm-rootfs --fqdn beagleboard --login ogra --password temppwd --imagesize 2G --seed xubuntu-desktop
