debix-imager has now V0.4 and a new interface. Pretty much a complete
rewrite of the first try. Should be much more flexible now.
Also I nearly finished porting debix over to debix-imager. Only two
"sudo mknod" calls left (that could be done via fakeroot), rest runs
as user.
Debs and source for V0.1 at
ftp://mrvn.homeip.net/debix/
Its using a pregenerated woody.tar.bz2 for now so its i386 only (again
just for now). Whats there is basically enough to make any linux into
a live filesystem.
