Iver very new to the beagleboard, but ive used linux in the past and
would like to run install/run ubuntu on my beagleboard xm Rev C.
My beagleboard came with bootable micro-sd with Angstrom on it.
I have my own 8GB scandisk micro, that i would like to use but i have
no idea where to begin. i have been reading http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu
but im lost.
Can someone just give me a break down of the process. from starting
with a RAW microsd with no partitions to running it from my
beagleboard.

+omap.img.gz |dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdb ; sync'

- Then downloaded beagleXM-natty.tgz and unpacked it
- Copied uImage to partition 1 on microSD (Fat) and replaced the file,
then unmounted
- Then copied vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-omap to partition 2 on microSD (ext3)
