Hi,

For Bering-uClibc 4 the Floppy Disk image is no more so
tools/createimage.sh is not that useful. I see that Andrew has created
tools/geniso.sh which works great but creates a 24MB ISO image
containing all of the Packages and all of the Modules.

Personally, I want to install Bering-uClibc 4 on a CF card and others
might want a USB disk image or a PXE boot image instead of an ISO.

I am also thinking that we might want different image variants -
cut-down in size (to fit on a small CF card maybe), or tailored to
specific hardware (such as the ALIX machines).

I am thinking about writing a replacement script (e.g. called
"buildimage.pl") which could be controlled by XML configuration files,
one XML file per image to be created.

What are the relevant image target types?
 * CF, USB (both with SYSLINUX)
 * ISO (with ISOLINUX)
 * PXE (PXELINUX) - probably a low priority

What level of control should we support via the configuration files?
 * Manage the set of LRP files installed on the disk
 * Manage the settings in isolinux.cfg / syslinux.cfg ?
 * Manage the contents of moddb.lrp ?
 * Manage the contents of modules.tgz ?
