-Authoring System Images
-=======================
-This section forms a guide to creating system images with BuildStream.
-
-Building a Linux image
-----------------------
-
-Setting up the project
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To create an image, we will want to use the x86image plugin from the
-``bst-external`` repository. The ``bst-external`` repository is a
-collection of plugins that are either too niche or unpolished to
-include as plugins in the main repository, but are useful for various
-purposes.
-
-If you have not already, install the latest version of this
-repository:
-
-	git clone https://gitlab.com/BuildStream/bst-external.git
-	cd bst-external
-	pip3 install .
-
-This should make bst-external plugins available to buildstream. To use
-the x86image and docker plugins in our project, we need to set up
-plugins in our =project.conf=:
-
-#+INCLUDE: "./project.conf" example yaml :lines "-17"
-
-We also set aliases for all project pages we will be fetching sources
-from, should we later want to change their location (e.g. when we
-decide that we want to mirror the files in our datacenter for
-performance reasons):
-
-#+INCLUDE: "./project.conf" example yaml :lines "17-"
-
-Base System
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The base system will be used to *build* the image and the project, but
-it won't be a part of the final result. It should contain everything
-that is required to build both the project and the tools required to
-create an image.
-
-The x86image plugin requires a specific set of tools to create an
-image. To make using this plugin easier, we provide an alpine-based
-base system using docker that contains all required tools:
-
-#+INCLUDE: "./elements/base.bst" example yaml
-
-This image only provides musl-libc and busybox for building, should
-your project require GNU tools it will be simpler to create your own
-and ensure that your base system includes the following packages:
-
-* parted
-* mtools
-* e2fsprogs
-* dosfstools
-* syslinux
-* nasm
-* autoconf
-* gcc
-* g++
-* make
-* gawk
-* bc
-* linux-headers
