Hi Alan,

Thanks for that.

Some hints/comments:

- the script should use /bin/sh, not all hosts have /bin/bash
- the script should somehow work with 'sudo' in the E4.5 because it
  can't pull out files owned by root below ~phablet (for example a
  chroot file system) as user phablet;
- the usage of df on the host is not portable (in my case to FreeBSD):
  20160330-151044 : Determine free space on current machine
  df: illegal option -- B
  usage: df [-b | -g | -H | -h | -k | -m | -P] [-acilnT] [-t type] [-,]
          [file | filesystem ...]

- it is good to save the click-list, but why on STDOUT; it'S enough to
  have it as file, I think;

- it should work on the M10 later too;

HIH and thanks again;

	matthias
