Yes, I agree with that when data should be used from sdcard, if there are these files. That would be the quick hack in my mind. But I brought up my points in case if there are applications for specific distros and versions that may be incompatible to each other? I don't know if the issue will

There is an idea rattling in my head about the following issue: Given I have a micro SD card and that would have all here, what is about a bootstrap mechanism to post install packages that are laying on that card to be installed, when a new image is started at first time? Like the autorun of
