[Freedombox-discuss] FreedomBox VirtualBox image torrent

[Nick Daly]

Check the readme, which should contain the information.

root : freedom
fbx : frdm

Most of the cool stuff is in /home/fbx/

Thanks for the info, I'll look into buildtorrent and friends.  I had
just been using Deluge's UI which doesn't support webseeds, IIRC.
That'll make building the torrent scriptable, which means I can put it
into the makefile :)
