- FIXME: This item needs to be documented
+ ext2 filesystem generator for embedded systems
+ `genext2fs' is meant to generate an ext2 filesystem
+ as a normal (non-root) user. It doesn't require you
+ to mount the image file to copy files on it. It
+ doesn't even require you to be the superuser to
+ make device nodes.
+
+ Warning ! `genext2fs' has been designed for embedded
+ systems. As such, it will generate a filesystem for
+ single-user usage: all files/directories/etc...
+ will belong to UID/GID 0
