+# This image is intended to provide a basic configuration that allows
+# you to access a newly flashed device over the network or via the
+# native console, and use ipkg to install (from feeds accessible via
+# the network) any further features you require into internal flash
+# memory or onto attached storage.
+
+# It should be as small as possible, while still achieving that goal.
+
+# The rationale for naming it 'base-image' is that this image is the
+# base upon which you can install any other functionality you desire.
+
+# Key features are:
+
+# 1) Must be able to mount attached storage devices like SD cards, CF
+# cards, internal disks, external USB disks, etc.  Should support
+# various filesystem choices, but ext2 at a minimum.  The rationale
+# for this is that you need storage to be able to install significant
+# new functionality.
+
+# 2) Must be able to boot from internal flash, or directly from a
+# filesystem stored on the attached storage.  The rationale for this
+# is that you will want to boot from attached storage instead of
+# messing around with ipkg-link.
+
+# Although it is only fully tested with the Angstrom distro, this
+# image is intended to be distro-agnostic.
