Agreed - Andrew, you did good!

I know I need to update buildimage.pl to reflect the multiple kernel
options (and PXELINUX), and I guess it is time to plan what disk images
we will actually make available for Beta 1.
I suggest a well-defined naming convention for the downloadable disk
image files, consisting of something like:
"Bering-uClibc" - No argument, I hope :-)
Version - Something like "4.0-beta1"
KARCH - "i686", "i486", "geode" etc.
ImgType - "syslinux", "pxelinux", "isolinux"
Variant - I'm thinking e.g.
"std" - default variant
"ser" - serial console variant
"alix" - tailored to the ALIX platform, maybe
The full names might therefore be e.g.
Bering-uClibc_4.0-beta1_i686_isolinux_std.iso
Bering-uClibc_4.0-beta1_i486_syslinux_ser.tar.gz
Bering-uClibc_4.0-beta1_geode_pxelinux_alix.tar.gz
Which combinations actually get built will depend on the
images/*/buildimage.cfg files that get created.
Thoughts?
