      mkarchiso: cleanup opts, user dir creation · 961d4cb6
      Sven-Hendrik Haase authored 
      

As in title, this patch cleans up opt flags that exist for no reason and
adds additional flags to modify the disk meta info which would otherwise
be hardcoded.

I wasn't quite sure about the user directory part but it doesn't seem
like a good idea to put that part into the script and therefore I
commented it out. It would probably interfere with rc.local scripts that
take care of skel copying. I replaced the part after the TODO with a
safe guard to make sure that people who are not aware of the changes
will not be caught by surprise.

      Fix how mkarchiso makes usb image · db1dde54
      Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi authored 
      

The current implementation in how partition is created for ext2 img
it looks a bit bad.

This patch makes the partition in more standarized way, respecting
cylinder alignement:
* The size of resulting image will be in cylinder multiple ~8MB.
* Use fdisk instead of sfdisk (sfdisk write some bad information)
* Make the result image in one pass, instead of concatenating.

Also the advantage is that with this can add another partitions
without any issues in the usb-flash-drive with this .img.

For example of current situation:
