There has been many times where I would have liked access to a program that could take a directory tree and convert it into a bottable filesystem image, without having access to the devive/media which the image is for. This has been primarily for flash, but also hardrives, (CD's are taken care of by the mkisofs utility). I think it would be worthwile in base, however if it was a well maintained port I would still be happy. -- WJT.
