+Freedom-Maker  -  Bdale's building tools for the FreedomBox project
+
+Install required build packages:
+	apt-get install multistrap qemu-user-static
+
+To build for a DreamPlug, use
+
+	sudo ./mk_dreamplug_rootfs
+
+This will yield a file tree under build/dreamplug, representing the
+contents of a root file system.  Get that onto a USB stick with something
+like
+
+	sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/freedom
+	sudo rsync -atvz --progress build/dreamplug/ /media/freedom/
+	sudo umount /media/freedom
+
+Move the USB stick to the DreamPlug, and arrange to boot the existing kernel
+from internal microSD pointing to our new root filesystem by interrupting the
+boot to talk to U-Boot:
+
+	setenv x_bootargs_root root=/dev/sdc1 rootdelay=10
+	saveenv
+	reset
+
+The system should boot to a login prompt.

+
+If you want to set things up to boot from the internal microSD card, once
+you're logged into the system booted from root on USB stick you can use:
+
+	sh /boot/copy2dream.sh

+
+Be aware that this is an imcomplete solution for now .. you will want to at
+least do things like create unique ssh host keys for your device!
