[Devil-linux-develop] [PATCH] install-on-usb - major enhancements (I think)

[Tim T. <t....@co...>]

In the process of fixing the broken gub/lilo support, I've made some 
significant chnages to "install-on-usb", hopefully you will find them as 
useful as I do. The diff as well as the complete file is attached for 
easier review. Item (5) means install-on-usb should be included inside 
the ISO as well, hence the mods to copy-base.

Comments?

----------------------------
Changes:
1. Fixed Grub/Lilo stuff to copy the bootcd.iso rather than the whole 
contents.

2. Auto-replaced /dev/sda style device names with link contents (who 
likes having to type that??) to allow to work with devfs.

3. Added prompts for formerly implict selections embedded in script 
(such as choice of grub/lilo/syslinux)

4. Added prompt/support for initrd with ext2 (changes required ramdisk 
block size)

5. Added ability to make the bootcd.iso from the actual DL CD itself - 
solves chicken-and-egg problem, no need to get ISO and Dist archive. In 
theory allows boot of target machine from CD and self-install to 
USB/disk. I did not test this yet, but did install CD based image OK. dd 
copy is done with info based on isosize so does not have problems with 
CD-Rs and creates binary duplicate of original iso.

6. Option to copy your own config file to disk, with option to use 
different partition (recommended).

7. General code cleanup.
