Hi Rodney,

When I follow your steps in the above URL and unpack the tar archive
into some dir with

$ mkdir root
$ cd root
$ tar xzf ../vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz

it gives a lot of error messages of the type:
...
tar: dev/ram14: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted
tar: dev/ram1: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted
tar: dev/mixer2: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted
tar: dev/sndstat: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted
tar: dev/audio: Cannot mknod: Operation not permitted
...

Is this by intention to unpack the archive as unpriv user 'phablet' or
shouldn't it better done as root or sudo?

Thanks

	matthias
