Hi Mark,
I just had a go at these instructions. There were a number of things I found confusing, so I'm writing them here.
the groups for the ubuntu user and found that it had many groups: ubuntu adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video admin. How many of these are necessary?
Most of the installation instructions are run as 'ubuntu'. The process itself should run as 'ninja'. This is necessary because we don't want to give sudo to ninja unnecessarily. After creating the image, the ubuntu user could even conceivably be deleted from the box.
Just the one line about mwotton. The rest was already there and is legit, it's just the default ubuntu bumf.
To really test it, i'd have to release a new version of seabeagle with a trivial change, and check that it upgrades it within a day. If you've got a clean machine installed, let's check that - I'll try to be online all day.
a quick google shows: http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-show-apt-log-history.html
basically /var/log/dpkg.log
runs as 'ninja' user user must be a member of the 'dialout' group
steps for preparing a ninja:
