The goal was to build a small distribution that could be used to modify filesystems in a host-independent way, without root permissions. But now I find myself using fsimage for all kinds of tasks, kernel programming, booting laptops without cdroms etc. So yeah, thanks, I actually think it is pretty clever too. =) But the source for the host program _is_ included, or rather, the host program is a shell script. And, another cool thing is that it comes with full source code. So people that want to tinker with it could download fsimage-0.1.2-guest-src.tar.gz and type configure, make and make install.

Yep, as long as the tftp server path prefix thing gets sorted out then I think everything will be ok. But it depends on a bourne shell right now, maybe it is better to replace the shell script with c code that can be compiled for both *nix and windows. / magnus _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
