[yocto] Deploying Yocto built images on x86

Hi Darren,

Thanks for this, it is very informative and useful.
You've been me a good number of solid leads to follow.

You are right, in my case, the system will be based around an Intel Atom 
processor on a PC/104 motherboard, with an mSATA solid state drive. It 
will be more of a PC type box than a deeply embedded unit. The "one 
switch, one light" appliance-like behaviour is to simply usage in the field.

Thanks for the lead.
I'll have a look at WIC and go from there.

Thanks again & best wishes
