Installation
Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image.
Installation will depend on the device, but typically it involves flashing pmOS to a removable disk, booting the removable disk on the target device, and using pmOS to flash a new pmOS image to the local storage on the device. This process will be improved in the future.
