jhalfs - add ability to copy additional files ?

Hi

Would it be possible to add the facility to add further
files to be 
copied to the target system, in the same manner as fstab. If
they are 
specified in the config then the file is copied, if not the
"default" 
from the book is created.

Things like

/etc/hosts
/etc/resolve.conf
/etc/sysconfig/clock
/etc/sysconfig/console
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/ipv4
/boot/grub/menu.lst

For me these are files which are usually constant for each
system I 
build and it would save having to go round and edit them
every time I 
build from jhalfs.

I note the "FILES=" option in the config file,
but I am assuming that 
this just copies the files to $JHALFSDIR, but does not do
anything 
further with them ?

Alternatively could the values that go into these files be
specified in 
the config files, and each file built with the appropriate
values rather 
than the book defaults ?

Thanks

Maybe, but not for the current version. We are very close to
release.

We will see what could be done for the next release.

That option was used to copy internal files required by each
module. After the 
last changes in the download code that option is currently
unused.
