Installation
Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image. In
pmbootstrap init
choose
Vendor [generic] Device codename [x86_64]
and after
pmbootstrap install
execute
pmbootstrap export
then look for the image file
.local/var/pmbootstrap/chroot_native/home/pmos/rootfs/generic-x86_64.img
which you flash to a removable disk (e.g. gnome-disks).
Boot the removable disk on the target device (to see if it boots).
Repeat to flash the pmOS image to the local storage on the device.
The first boot might take a very long time until all free space is allocated.
