system.img is not used at all from the android partition, the android
system.img needs to live in a certain dir inside of the ubuntu
system.img (sadly someone decided it would be clever to name the ubuntu
one system.img too :P )

that manual zip install is deprecated ... we need to update the docs so
people use rootstock-ng instead (i simply have been short on time the
last weeks/months else i would have update it)

grab the tree as described in my other mail, there is a README file in
there and the scripts should be relatively self explanatory for someone
looking at their code ...
