+ben-media-busrt will consist of several scripts that live on the 
+Computer to which the NanoNote is regularly docked.
+
+one script will act as a cron job monitoring  defined folders
+and automatically converting media dropped into them into 
+NanoNote friendly formats. 
+
+script two will be launched manually and will sync the defined 
+folders over to the NanoNote. A config file will provide 
+local -> NanoNote mappings 
+
+notes:
+Use of rsync would be good to reduce bandwidth.
+Have option to remove files frrom nanonote that are
+not in PCs folders.
+look into auto launching with udev rule
+  - would be cool if we could pop up a proceed yes/no
+    alert on the nanonote before begining the transfer

+ben-set-up will be the..
+ "one script to rule them all and in the nanonote bind them.."
+So, Tolkien referencees aside, this will be the main "Help me 
+set-up my NanoNote" script.
+
+It will do several things:
+1. run at boot and check a flag file
+   if first boot see if user want to restore from backed-up settings
+   if not does the user want a default data partition created
+          does the user want to mount a uSD card at boot
+          Set timezone, set flag file to continue time set up,
+          reboot, read flag file run ben-time-set 
+          to finish setting time (clearly we need a skip the timezone switch)
+   if yes to restore, preform necessary tasks to get to restore data
+                      i.e. mount uSD, ssh/ftp/etc to host
+                      grab the settings for timezone,and data partitions,
+		      automounts.
+                      set those up. Change flag file to continue restore
+                      reboot. read flag file. continue restore. 
+                      if all goes well set flag file to all done
+
+2. if run manually don't check flag file  (unless instructed to (flag))
+   instead provide a menu with options to:
+   set timezone
+   set time
+   set-up data partition
+   set up auto mounts
+   back-up system
+   restore from backup
+   etc

+ben-storage will give users a menu guided way to set up the internal storage partition.

+Goals:
+by default will only ask for the mount point (with /data suggested
+as the default) and will then determine available space and create
+a partition using all available nand.
+
+will have commandline options and advacned menus to:
+restore the partition from a saved config (mount point,siz,etc)
+manually configure the partition to desired:
+ start, end, size, type, mount point
+Save the current configuration of the storage partition/s to a config 
+file for later use (say, after a reflash).
