Description-en: Configure a preinstalled ext2/3 system image
Jasper is a tool to configure preinstalled ext2/3 images that were
created using the ubuntu infrastructure from the initramfs.
Such as armel omap3/4 images in Ubuntu 10.10 and beyond.
.
It grows the system partition of a preinstalled ext2/3 image to the
full size of the SD card, configures fstab, loopback networking, adds
the UUID to the kernel cmdline and properly sets up flash-kernel for
the kernel package post installation scripts.
