+==Creating compatible filesystem images==
+This steps will show how to create a uncompressed filesystem image:
+
+
+'''Step 1:''' Create an empty file:
+dd if=/dev/zero of=<filename> count=<number of MB> bs=1M
+
+'''Step 2:''' Format it in ext2/3
+mkfs.ext2 <filename>
+
+'''Step 3:''' Mount the file and copy the filesystem
+mount -o loop,rw <filename> <path_to_mount>
+cp -r <path_to_filesystem>/* <path_to_mount>
+
+'''Step 4:''' Umount it, and detach it from /dev/loop
+umount <path_to_mount>
+losetup -d /dev/loop0 (ususally /dev/loop0, might be loop1,2...etc)
+
+'''Step 5:''' Copy it to the root of the first partition of the SDCard/USB
