Yo Andy,

This page shouldn't be deleted, but we should either plan on updating it
with your new info, or add a new page for your script and put a note on
the old one.

Thanks,

If we need to build a flash with a build prior to Delorean, we need to
keep using the flash_install_512.sh.

Howdy folksez,

There is a new flash_install.sh program in town.  As of checkin 23607,
flash_install_512.sh is gone.  Please don't use it any more.

The flash_install.sh takes the same arguments as before, but it works
on any size flash card larger than about 480MiB.  It's also
interactive, since I wrote it and I can never remember the arguments to
programs I write.

For testing and legacy purposes only, it has an argument that will
allow you to create old style flash layouts (and install the
software).  Don't use this, unless you absolutely have to.  It will
stop working one day, probably without notice, in the next release or
the one after that.  The argument is option style "--old"

Examples:

flash_install.sh /mnt 1  [formats the flash card in slot 2 to dynamic
                          partition layout and installs software on it.]


flash_install.sh
[program then prompts you for the things it needs to know.  it has a
reasonable set of defaults that correspond to the example above.  if
you like the default, simply hit return, otherwise, type in something
else.]


flash_install.sh --old /software-release-directory 0
[formats CF card in slot 1 to old format and installs the software]
