Nard for embedded music installation

[Ronny Nilsson]

Hi Daniel
Here is a discussion where Nard were tested:
	https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=997845#p997845
Mounting RO worked out good too, for him at least. However, I've talked with 
several people where mounting RO also failed eventually...

While running from RAM is a key feature in Nard it has other advantages too. 
If you create a professional product you will benefit in the long run from 
things like version control, repeatable builds, remote upgrades etc.
