Replace a single system and do not reformat the others...
Hmm, the example

./makesd —debug -v unstable pyra -f1 replicant


*should* do such things. Replace a system on one partition with another and do 
not touch
anything else? So I just have overlooked just that and it is already there...

Hmm, for supported systems it should be bundled with an old kernel and
a bootscript.scp and it should run.

Well it is also just a tarball (for 4.3).
For working with recent kernels, Replicant 4.3 needs 
1. a kernel with android stuff and hw voice routing
   either backport the voice routing stuff to 4.9.4 or
   have 4.10 replicant compatible (which seems to be more than
   just adding the patches from the android stuff.
2. configuration to use that hw voice routing
3. for newer modem firmwares: AT+CLVL and ignore AT_OPCMENABLE=1 ERROR
responses.

We have illume / e17. That would be an alternative. I am using matchbox
+ fbpanel stuff most of the time.
