QuickStart

You need to be root to run this script. You have two options:

1. With no parameter from the command line, create an image using values found in config.sh.

2. Configure your build using the command line (Not recommended for version 0.8x, i've made many changes and some options have changed meanings or simply do nothing. Use the config file until i remove this message) :
