+convertz - simple vm to live image conversion for zoni
+
+Version 1.0:
+Initial version, some self check for dependent tools/files, supports only Ubuntu
+images with standard non-LVM 2 partitions (root and swap).
+
+To Dos:
+- possible bug in treating raw (.img) image as we work on the original image
+  and not a copy of it thus lossing the original state after injecting live-*
+  packages
+- make self check independent or to run it during the installation/make process,
+  possible even make necessary changes to the /etc/default/grub if necessary
+- make use of nbd/qemu-nbd to skip conversion but possibly need to consider
+  preserving the original image (in case user want it back)
+- sync some of the variables in the script with those in the ZoniDefaults.cfg,
+  will require some additional codes to be added to zoni
+- probably need to port this to python

+#This is a quick prototype to convert VM images to a barebone/live image.
+#Several steps/guidelines need to be followed in preparation of the VM image.
+#The assumption is that the VM image is running Ubuntu would have live-boot and
+#live-config installed; consists of only a root (/) partition and a swap

+#
+#Few other adjustment required to the kernel in order to get this working:

+This script converts an VM image to a live boot image and registers it to Zoni.
+Currently it only support Ubuntu/Debian based VM images using the live-boot,
+live-config and live-tools packages.
+
+It consists of 2 stages:
+- 1st stage to check and if necessary converts the VM image from any formats to
+  raw, insert live-* packages if missing and finally create a squashfs image.
+- 2nd stage (still work in progress), the script will check the version of
+  kernel and initrd with Zoni's database before registering the new image to Zoni
+  and move it to the appropriate folder.
+
+OPTIONS:
+   -h                   Show this message
+   -i <input image>     Your input VM image
+   -n <image name>      Name for the live image to be registered in Zoni

+.SH NAME
+convertz \- A Simple Tool for Converting VM image to Live Image for Zoni
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B zoni [-i 
+.I input VM image
+.B ] [-n
+.I live image name
+.B ] [-u
+.I update image
+.B ] [-p
+.I partition number (optional)
+.B ] [-h] [-v]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BI convertz
+is a simple tool that will convert your VM image to a Live Image for Zoni.
+It accepts any VM image formats such as raw, vdi, qcow, etc.
+(generally formats supported by qemu-img), converts it to raw format and
+make all necessary adjustments before converting it a squashfs image. It
+also obtains other information of the image such as the Linux Kernel
+(vmlinuz) and initial ramdisk (initrd.img) before making necessary steps
+to register the information into Zoni and move the necessary files to their
+respective folders.
+.PP
+Currently
+.BI convertz
+only supports full Ubuntu or Debian based VM images (with vmlinuz and initrd.img in
+/boot folder) and it assumes that the VM images file system in Non LVM
+based and only contains a / or root partition and a swap partition.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "-i input VM image"
+The input is the actual VM image that a user wants to convert to live image.
+.IP "-n live image name"
+This is the live image name that will be register into Zoni as well as the 
+name that the converted live image be named (with a .squashfs extension).
+.IP "-u"
+Use this option to update existing Image.
+.IP "-p partition number"
+This is the partition number of the / or root of the VM image. This parameter
+is optional as
+.BI convertz
+will try to detect the partition itself. It is usefull only if the VM image
+has more than 2 partitions during creation of the VM image.
+.IP -h
+Print usage/help information and exit.
+.IP -v
+Print version and exit.
+.SH FILES
+.I convertz
+depends on several other tools in order to perform its task. They are:
+.RS
+zoni, qemu-img, parted, mksquashfs and uuidgen.
+.RE
+.PP
+In addition, it expects the Debian Live Project deb files are compiled
+and prepared. They are:
+.RS
+live-boot, live-config and live-tools
+.RE
+Information on preparing these files are available at http://live.debian.net
+.SH BUGS
+This is still a work in progress. As mentioned earlier,
+.BI convertz
+only supports Ubuntu or Debian based VM images only. A fair amount of steps had been
+added to try to capture any errors as early as possible, any bugs please
+contact the author. Thanks.

+The files in this folders are Debian Live Packages to support live boot.
+convertz will require these files to be in /var/www/live-boot-support in order
+to inject them into live the image during conversion from VM image.
+
+Debian Live Packages can be found at http://live.debian.net. The necessary
+pakcages are live-boot, live-config and live-tools. As of the preparation of
+this README (21-Feb-2012), the respective version and date for each package is:
+
+- live-boot	3.0~a25-1	17-Feb-2012
+- live-config	3.0~a32-1	17-Feb-2012
+- live-tools	3.0~a6-1	17-Feb-2012
+
+Generally to the deb files are available to download but you can choose to
+rebuild from source (instructions are available from the url listed above).
+
+If you choose to download the deb files instead, here are the ones that you
+will need:
+
+- live-boot
+	- live-boot_<version>_all.deb
+	- live-boot-initramfs-tools_<version>_all.deb
+-live-config
+	- live-config_<version>_all.deb
+	- live-config-upstart_<version>_all.deb
+-live-tools
+	- live-tools_<version>_all.deb
+
+If you decide to try new versions of the deb files, please remember to
+move the ones in this folder to a safe place before downloading the new
+ones here.

+The files in here are to demo using zoni (with some additional

+as suppose to using live images that zoni is doing now.
+
+The files bootnode.py, getnpass.py, kickstart and preseed are to be
+copied to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ assuming we are dealing with Apache 
+running in Ubuntu. The preseed and kickstart as just samples and would
+need to be tweaked.
+
+It is also necessary that a proper Ubuntu and/or CentOS repositor is
+setup and served via Apache as the preseed and kickstart are setup
+to install the OS via HTTP.
