what I am trying to achieve is installing a custom build with a later 
firmware embedded (bundled) as in

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware#Automatic

I thought copy-nand would do this but looking again at

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Operating_system_image_installation_methods

perhaps I missed the obtain developer key step, which is a deal breaker 
because I want this to be usable on all unsecured laptops in Haiti.

basically I would like to be able to build a custom version of 21021o0.img 
with q2f19 and some additional rpms and a different list of activities and 
not have to install the firmware as a separate step.
