This will expand the size of the root partition to use all available space on the device.  To prevent this, delete the '.rootfs-repartition' flag in '/' or pass a kernel command line argument of 'nofsresize'.

We invite you to download and try out the Fedora 18 ARM Beta, making sure things that are important to you are working as intended. If you find a bug, please report it (https://bugzilla.redhat.com ensuring to select Hardware: arm) -- every bug you uncover is a chance to improve the experience for the growing number of Fedora ARM users worldwide. Installable images and tar files are now available for download from:

What is included in the Beta release?

The Beta release includes prebuilt images for Versatile Express (QEMU), Trimslice (Tegra), Pandaboard (OMAP4), GuruPlug (Kirkwood), and Beagleboard (OMAP3) hardware platforms. Prebuilt images can be written directly to SD Card, USB, or SATA drive and in most cases can be booted without any additional steps or configuration.
