Hosting more prebuilt images. QEMU Beagle virtual machine?

Using Angstrom I’m currently getting the error:

“pkg_get_installed_files: Failed to open //var/lib/opkg/info/bonescript.list: No such file or directory”

I will probably be able to fix this by looking though opkg /etc config files but still, it would be nice to have a more ubiquitous O/S for my purposes, which is a multi purpose home server.

The only problem is that I can’t find a quick to install SD card image for anything other than Angstrom. Even Angstrom only has one mirror now.

I don’t have time to go through the whole process of getting something like Sabyron (useful due to wide Gentoo ebuild support) or Ubuntu (familiar) because of where the Beaglebone is. I I would much prefer to hit the ground running with a SD card image and then update remotely.

If you manage to get another O/S onto the BeagleBONE please let me know and I will look into finding somewhere to pay to host a torrent seed hosting or a Cyberlocker. Perhaps someone could MD5Sum this too. Additionally also an Angstrom mirror too.

Alternatively…
perhaps I could arrange a setup using a virtual machine emulating the Beaglebone and then dd image that?

There's quite a few other 'quick' install sd card images (well if your
running linux to run the script to dump the image to the sd card)

With Gentoo I think all that would be needed for a quick start would
be uImage, MLO, and uEnv.txt. Otherwise it's just set up the SD card
with this script:

and extract this archive to the second partition:
