A Linux for Beagleboard-xm without GUI

Two files which are compressed cpio files are put onto this site. One is the boot files, another is the root file system. The microSD should be partitioned into three paritions. The first one should be a small, bootable partition. 64MB is enough. The second is a swap partition, 2GB is my choice. A microSD of 8GB capacity is needed.
Partition 1: 64MB, bootable, formatted with vfat system.
Partition 2: 2GB, swap
Partition 3: All remaining space, > 2GB, formatted with ext3 system.
When both partition 1 and partition 3 are filled with the file contents of the two cpio, the board should be able to boot.
The board should be connected to a ethernet switch/router with DHCP server.
Have a try with it if you like. I'm willing to answer questions, but the response may not be very quick.
