Unfortunately it looks like Rob did not get a chance to write up a full tutorial on what it takes to get ROS running on the Gumstix and iRobot setup. So here is how I managed to get ROS Groovy (the latest release as of December 2012) to drive the Create.

You will probably want to expand the partition size of the root once you flash this image, as it has very little space left in 2GB allocated space. Depending on the size of your uSD card, use tools like GParted to expand.
