Hi,
I have read about the dd'able (flash) images in the FAQ, but INSTALL does
not mention them. Is this intended?
I attached a patch that changes this and also mentions miniroot.fs,
which seemed to be missing, too.
Please adjust my wording or let me know and I'll adjust it
and send a new patch.
Regards
Simon
