to blindly trusting installers :)
I'm not a typical user either, but I share Richard's concern. Your script as described is great. If there were these 3 features I'd be completely happy with it as one solution to the problem:
1. It can be run as a non-root user (fun!).
I can easily at a policykit wrapper for this. I guess I should also add some
more checks to make sure it is running from a mountpoint of the actual sdcard
image and not from some random location before resolving said mountpoint
to a blockdevice to dd the u-boot to (in case of sunxi atleast). With those
checks in place this should actually be pretty safe.
2. It can be run as a single command line (no interactive menu).
This can already be done with the current version of the script :)
3. It can produce an image to be written to disk (it does not make changes to block devices in /dev).
This is not something I'm interested in, but patches welcome.
Regards,
Hans
