bodhi's rootfs packaged as a disk image for pogoplug v4

Hi guys,

I took bodhi's Debian rootfs tarball and packaged it as a disk image for Pogoplug v4 devices.

This just makes things slightly more convenient for Pogoplug users.

https://github.com/pepaslabs/pogoplug-v4-bodhi-rootfs-debian

The disk image has a ~500MB partition, which Linux users can expand after writing it to an SD card.

I have also included a 4GB version for Windows and Mac users who don't have access to programs like sfdisk and resize2fs.

Enjoy!,
Jason

P.S. Thanks for all of your hard work, bodhi!

Thanks for your efforts :)

Whilst it's not exactly related, apologies for that in advance, I always wondered if it was possible to put binaries and zips on github - is that fairly easy to do on a free github account ?

Usually we'd avoid putting binaries on GitHub.

BTW, for others such as cellularmitosis who kindly created the disk image and provided it to others, I would not discourage it (it's a FOSS world). But I don't like provide disk images, so I did not do this myself.

@Bodhi, understand, github is presumably for source code ... just a useful feature I didn't know about !
