* lh_config system-wide configuration file, like an implicit specification
of '--conffile=/etc/live-helper' to each lh_config call.

Marco sais, that flash devices often need a different erase size than mkfs.jffs2
defaults to. Hence, this parameter passes the blocksize to the mkfs.jffs2 call
through --eraseblock option.
By using APT_OPTIONS and APTITUDE_OPTIONS in config/common,
one can manipulate the default options wich is made to each
and every apt and aptitude call.
added a new syslinux menu splash screen, I'm not an artist
but I think it is better than the generic splash which was
already included. Also added the svg file if anyone wants
to make any changes.
change MILISECONDS to SECONDS. Syslinux actually uses
tenths of seconds not milliseconds, but it seems
unnecessary to expose this to the user. Fix templates
to only specify the timeout once.
At the moment this only works with the root volume
on nfs as well. If we add a switch to configure the
network early in the boot process then this option
could be made available for other root mediums. This
option works reliably on the latest kernel 2.6.23.1
On earlier kernels I experienced frequent oopses.
This option allows you to expose the root read only. Using
this option a person could upgrade the root filesystem or
add packages without requiring the user to reboot. The root
filesystem could be kept on an nfs volume or some other
persistent medium. Multiple clients could then be booted off
the same root fs. I used LTSP as a template to determine which
directories to make rw.
To allow better customization of resulting system, support to include
and exclude packages of base system has been added. It has been
included for debootstrap and cdebootstrap helpers.
A set of new options has been add to allow the syslinux vesa menu
support to be added. Those are the new options:
- LH_SYSLINUX_CFG: set custom syslinux configuration file
- LH_SYSLINUX_MENU: set syslinux menu
- LH_SYSLINUX_MENU_LIVE_ENTRY: set text to be used on the menu for
live entries
- LH_SYSLINUX_MENU_LIVE_FAILSAFE_ENTRY: set text to be used on the
menu for live entries (failsafe ones)
- LH_SYSLINUX_MENU_MEMTEST_ENTRY: set text to be used on the menu
for memtest entry
