[Commotion-dev] Commotion-OpenBTS-Serval live image

[Dan Staples]

Yup, putting the image in a git repo turned out to be a bad idea and
made things break. I'll upload it elsewhere and send out the link so you
can download it.

I would be glad to share the process I used to create it. I'll write it
up and send it out to the list as well.
