Well... it's a nice wrapper to create links in
/var/lib/systemimager/scripts for your environment.. ;-)
Maybe, in general, it would be great to have an option in
si_mkautoinstallscript (and consequently in si_getimage) to specify the
list of the overrides by command line, like:
si_mkautoinstallscript --overrides "OVER1 OVER2 ..." ...
What do you think?
