+ help
+ With mkelfImage you can create elf images from kernel
+ files to be downloaded by Etherboot for LinuxBIOS.
+ Tagged images are data files, which contain the
+ necessary files for booting up (kernel+root for
+ linux, kernel+minifs for dos, ...) bundled together
+ with a special format.
+
+ These tagged images are downloaded and understood
+ by Etherboot and can handle LinuxBIOS restrictions
