7abd158346 Force text mode console in base element.
Apply kernel command line parameters to force Linux to remain in text
mode. Typical distro kernels quickly switch into a graphical screenmode
and this is incompatible with common Lights Out Management hardware
which is able to intercept text mode consoles to display them remotely.

5ada82a59c Add armhf support.
ARM doesn't have a generic Linux image due to the soc-specific nature of Linux
kernels today, so we drop the manual installation of that package, replacing it
with a dist-upgrade instead. This involved tweaks to the dpkg and fedora
install-package scripts.

0cfecd1024 Store build-time settings
This will write two files in /etc/ that contain the environment and
command line arguments used in the creation of an image. This should
assist with later efforts to repeat the creation of an image.

2b5557ea30 Don't use sudo in base.
Install.d hooks are already root, we don't need plain sudo there.

2cefdd7e60 Tidy up base element:
Fix a typo in the base element itself.
Refer to it early in the README since it is likely to be useful to
almost everyone.

1eff4a436e Rename flavour to element.
Flavour is overloaded in openstack due to it being used by nova. Element
seems to have the same feeling of combinability without using a term already
in active use in the openstack community.
