Surely, I will explain better: bin/roclone is different from bin/clone.
/bin/clone copy the filesystem at destination. /bin/roclone copy and
compress. It use two images: ROOT.gz and usr.img. root.gz is a little
muLinux able to mount usr.img as loop filesystem. usr.img contains ALL
/usr/* (then, all addons mounted).
On my CDROM and on my ZIP, there are only two compressed image: root.gz
and usr.img. Disk-on-chip is not different. You need of read-only cloning
on the disk-on-chip.

Obviously, the more desiderable solution is if you test and improve
/bin/roclone, or in alternative,
if you you will develope some other script useful FOR ALL muLinux users.
I call that "cooperation" and "contribution"; otherwise, that's only
"derivation".
