This project produces a DVD that downloads and verifies a signed package from your HTTPS protected webserver and uses it to install a Linux distribution.

It partitions the disk into three parts - current OS, next OS and persistent data. A service is included that detects when new installers are pushed from your webserver, and installs to the "other" OS partition.
