Design Notes

Line 21:		Line 21:
	=== Design Notes ===		=== Design Notes ===

	(To be ~~filled in with additional design comments~~)		First step is to build a non-graphical image that can provide a user with the needed tools to correctly build an image

			Provide a simple X-Desktop with the HOB (pyGTK based) and a terminal (X-Term)

			Create an APP or extend HOB to support deployment of images,
			- this could be to a USB Device
			- HDD
			- USB Mem Stick
			- SD Card or similar
			- Burn a CD/DVD is available
			- Other deployment option
			- Network to real hardware (talk to Darren/Tom)?
