How to install Fedora on a SheevaPlug and boot off a SD card.

How to install Fedora on a SheevaPlug and boot off a SD card.
I saw a post on the SheevaPlug at Slashdot and then in Popular Mechanics. It seemed like an interesting device  it runs @ 2.5w, no fans, solid state and no need for a monitor.

For years I have carried around an old CRT monitor just in case my linux box crashed, no need as this has a real serial console built in.

This instructable will detail how to build a SheevaPlug with Fedora (v12), to both run and boot off of a SD card.

I got a lot of good info from the PlugComputer Forum and a FedoraProject Wiki

 Good Job! I have been keeping an eye on the sheevaplug and/or pogoplug for a few months now. It will be the perfect companion for a lot of complex projects. Plus the low energy consumption makes it really desirable.

I like to tinker with just about anything, sometimes it works out in the end. Have fun looking at the projects, try tearing something open and let me know how it goes. cheers, -Joe
