The concept is, that each customer can easily build his own installation
or live medium. The medium can be CD/DVD, USB memorystick or
installation via PXE. The target medium to be installed on can be either
a hard disk or also a USB memorystick.
After installation (or after booting the live medium), the customer has
a ready-to-use configured system with the following benefits:
- his POS middleware is ready-to-use, following the configuration he has
chosen when building his medium
- the POS hardware and periphery of our Beetle systems is supported by
our own kernel (modules)
- the system itself is configured (devices like COM ports, display(s),
touch screens, etc)
- his application is already installed and may be auto started on system
bootup

That sounds good  :-)

That's a good idea. When business is running with our "WNLPOS CentOS", I
will motivate my boss for donating.

I see your idea, however maybe the requirements we have (see above) are
too complex for achieving this.
