It's great that you're doing this, but I don't think dding partition +
filesystems is a good idea.

We found that various "8GB" SD cards have different absolute numbers of
available sectors, it can lead to eventual filesystem corruption if your
image is slightly large than someone else's card.

If someone's going to try this they're probably OK running fdisk and
using tarballs.

I've been using Peter's F17 alpha1 image and following progress with
updates, it's been very good.  It's stuck as of last week with
gnome-shell problems though.  But generally package completeness has
been increasing really well last few weeks, great job.
