up till here there is quite clear documentation:

I could write this, but more as proces to get a image ready for a task.

Or should there be somewhere an intergral document containing everthing.
Then I would be wise include above documents authors.

There might be some more parts:

Common ways on running host: does and don'ts

Working with cf-cards (some info I remember from Paul-Henning Kamp from
EuroBSD Basel 2005)

I 've written today a part on PXE (for net4826) boards with onboard
flash.
http://martenvijn.nl/trac/wiki/PXEboot related to tinybsd.

I have some scripts in pre-alpha than could be examples,
in use in bluespot (a tool scanning bluetooth devices)

http://bluespot.wifisoft.org 

In some time I hope to cleanup code far enough to push it to a public
svn. 

Thanks all,

Marten
