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.

File System Carver
File System Carver (fsc) is a tool used to separate partitions on disk or disk image. First the fsc tool will hash the entire disk. Second it will look for partitions on the disk to separate. Then fsc will carve out each partition on the disk to its own file and each gap between partitions. Each new file will be hashed on its own. Finally the fsc will make sure when the files are put back together in order that their hash matches the original overall hash.
