[pkg-fso-maint] install.sh - vfat part1 supported, wicd remains difficult

[Luca Capello]

Hi there!

This mail is not meant to change how install.sh works, but only to
document my idea, which I was loosing while performing a `git pull`.

Here the solution I was thinking about at [1], which requires the kernel
I uploaded this evening [2]:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if [ "$SD_PART1_FS" = "vfat" ]; then
	chroot $INST_DIR /bin/sh -e <<__END_CHROOT__
apt-get --yes --download-only install linux-image-2.6.28-openmoko-gta02
dpkg --extract /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.28-openmoko-gta02*.deb /
mv /boot/uImage.bin-* /boot/uImage.bin
apt-get clean
__END_CHROOT__
else
[...]
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

FWIW, the above solution has been tested to work:
=====
debian-gta02:~# mount | grep vfat
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type vfat (rw,noatime)
debian-gta02:~# mount | grep boot
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /boot type vfat (rw,noatime)
debian-gta02:~# ls /boot/
debian-gta02:~# apt-get --yes --download-only install \
 linux-image-2.6.28-openmoko-gta02

[2] we do not ship a Linux kernel image, but a U-Boot one, thus it is
    now properly called uImage.bin-$VERSION
