Flash
On my OSX box I issue:
sudo dd bs=1m if=CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1511-RaspberryPi2.img of=/dev/disk2
Double check that your SD Card reader is at /dev/disk2 or you’ll be sorry..
First login
I had some trouble finding the default login credentials but I finally found the documentation here:
with default creds root/centos
Use the entire SD Card
By default the partition uses only 2GB. To make enlarge it use
touch /.rootfs-repartition systemctl reboot
Add Docker?
Sadly the Docker rpm is not available yet.
