+# Introduction
+
+It is an example packer template based on netboot iso that adds packages for xubuntu and buildozer.
+
+# Configure
+
+You want to edit `http/preseed.cfg` and `template.json` before building an image.
+
+# Build
+
+`packer build template.json`
+
+# Testing the image after it's built.
+
+`./launch`
+
+# TODO
+
+  - [compact the image](https://crysol.github.io/recipe/2013-10-15/virtualbox-compact-vmdk-images/)
+  - trigger a build, torrent creation and gdrive upload when buildozer is released
