-Restore CD architecture ########################################################
-
-the restore CD is based on a mdv rescue CD.
-it typically contains:
-
-  data/box.XXX/lst
-  data/box.XXX/hda5
-  isolinux/all.rdz
-  isolinux/isolinux.bin
-  isolinux/isolinux.cfg
-  isolinux/vmlinuz
-  install/stage2/rescue.clp
-
-
-  data/box.XXX #######################################################
-  
-  - lst contains the partition table and the drive geometry 
-    (the format is custom, read and generated by partimage_whole_disk)
-  
-  - hda5 is an imagefile, a mirror of /dev/hda5
-    (the format is partimage only, the idea of partimage is same as dump(8))
-  
-  isolinux ###########################################################
-  
-  - kernel and stage1 (same as standard mdv rescue)
-  
-  - isolinux.cfg customized to call directly save_all or rest_all
-    (with option keepmounted for rest_all)
-  
-  install/stage2/rescue.clp ##########################################
-  
-  - compressed loopback containing a iso9660 filesystem.
-    it is mostly the same as the mdv rescue.clp, *plus* partimage_whole_disk
-    (nb : use extract_compressed_fs/create_compressed_fs to expand/create rescue.clp)
-
-
-Mastering process ##############################################################
-
-1. install a distribution and customize it
-
-   nb: it's better to leave an empty space on the disk after the /home
-   partition (since the restore script grows it, it's no waste) to allow
-   adapting to different disk geometry without failing
-
-2. boot on part_save_all.iso
-3. "partimage_whole_disk -s hostfoo save_all /data/box" is called
-   3.1. it connects to partimaged server on hostfoo
-   3.2. it fins the first free /data/box.XXX
-   3.3. it saves the partition table and geometry in /data/box.XXX/lst calling
-        partimage with action save_file (need a patched partimage)
-   3.4. it saves the devices needing to be saved calling partimage with action save.
-   nb: it doesn't save swap partitions (useless)
-   nb: it doesn't save ntfs/fat partitions
-   nb: with option save_home_directory, the last linux partition is not saved
-
-4. a restore CD iso is built using the data from step (3.)
-5. restore CD is burned
-
-6. restore CD booted on the target computer
-7. "partimage_whole_disk rest_all /data/box.XXX" is called
-   7.1. it resizes main windows partition if wanted and needed
-   7.2. it gets the partition table and geometry and creates partition table
-   accordingly
-   7.3. it creates swap partitions if needed
-   7.4. it restores linux partitions
-   7.5. it creates linux partitions if wanted (esp. for /home)
-   7.6. it grows the last linux partition if wanted (esp. for /home)
-   7.7. it installs the bootloader (calling rescue script "install_bootloader")
-
-
-Build process ##################################################################
-
-- patched partimaged must be installed and launched
-  (one gets patched partimage rpm building with option "--with jail")
-
-- the data gets to /var/lib/partimage/data/box.XXX (owned by user partimag)
-
-- sudo chmod a+r /var/lib/partimage/data/*/*
-
-- in gi/rescue, call
-  ./make_partimage_save_rest_all partimage-0.6.4-7mdk.i586.rpm /var/lib/partimage /data/box.XXX
-
-  => it calls ./make_rescue_img with special options to create a special rescue.clp
-  => generates part_save_all.iso and part_rest_all.iso
