David,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll run it by one of the SF staff members
this week. I'm not hopeful they'll allow this, though.


I'm not sure why not.  When I say "user space", I mean cfengine can run
as a regular user program instead of as a system daemon.  We could run
it, and even use it (as I said before) as a sort of 'cron' just for us.

However, it does become a long-running process then - which probably
needs the ok.  Even so, one could use it on demand if need be - rather
than letting it run as a background process.

I was thinking of having a single script, with files contained in it in 
the shar format, and then unshar the files and copy to disk.  You could 
even - possibly - unshar a file then use it as an executable (such as 
syslinux).


If you used dd, then the disk would have to be at least a particular 
size, and any larger size disk would waste a lot of space.

Hey David,

Investigatet that a little bit.  Altough it's a good idea it would require
different versions for different OS/*nix variants and as much explanations
as a simple image.  With my limited knowlegde of this type of script, the
saving would be in the "creation" process and not neccecarily on the "user"
end. There I could see a few other issues.  With a "clean" image it could,
and in fact have been on most of my sticks, as simle as "dd
if=image_file.img of=/dev/sda".  I guess it could not be any simpler than
that :-)  Maybe you have some deeper knowlege that can enlighten me more?

Best regards
Jørn

How about a self-contained shar script?

That is, a single text file which contains the binaries and scripting
needed to get it "unravelled" onto a USB stick?
