Last light during my long nightshift I suddenly got a nice idea on how we could make kamikaze for the beginners available. I tought the following:
First I boot a standard image(with modified mount_root), then change root to a usb. Next build a system with all packages we need ( ppp, pppoe, php,mysql,lighttpd,x-wrt,firewall,dhcp,mldonkey,nzb,etc,etc) when thats ready unmount the usb filesystem and boot jjfs. mount the usb on /mnt and make a archive of the usb. ( basicly the image is now ready).
now users only have to flash to standaard image and execute a script that unpacks the archive to the usb and changes boot_dev to usb. Only thing left is set some configuration files, but that can be done in the webif of x-wrt(It's as easy as killing bunny with axes :) )
Now my question is can this work on the way I descriped it?(before i start building something that won't work)
