Improve installation with image file & script support

[MaStr]

Hi,
there are two things, which would improve the installation-maybe

First of all, it could be useful to deliver a finalized image file, that would be placed in the install folder and exchanged with the commando

/etc/init.d/piratebox updatePB

That would exchange the complete opt/piratebox with yours.
Then you should place HEADER.txt and README.txt to the src directory.... then new folders are distributed directly.

To distribute the *.txt files to the share folder you can run the following command:

/opt/piratebox/bin/distribute_files.sh /opt/piratebox/share/Shared true

the "true" triggers that existing files will be overwritten.

If you want to create an image file, let me know

I'm not sure how I can help on this project, as I'm still horrible at every programming language ever, but let me know if you need help with anything ;_;

Can you post an image of your UI?

@MaStr, I was not aware of the PirateBox' own update mechanism. It would certainly make sense to use it.

If you have some time to make the necessary changes, I'll gladly merge the result! Otherwise I'll try to get around to it within the next few days.

The update Mechanism is only to exchange the image behind /opt/piratebox

The distribute_files.sh stuff is new with 1.0 and should help to manage the current style listing files.
