I'll certainly agree it is a somewhat obscure request. However, if such
tools are around they can really pay off. Tasks such as:
o building root file systems from the source tree
o installing kernels when cross compiling
o (for x86) creating boot disks (do you
really do everything on a disk then
DD it into a file?)
become trivial. Oh well, worth a try ...
more latter, Andrew :-)
