+install.sh gets executed if it exists by /etc/init.d/umountfs
+
+The files are placed in a tarball called upgrade.bin, and it
+should be located in either /var/volatile/flash-upgrade or
+/media/card/flash-upgrade to be compatible with umountfs.
+
+The file /var/volatile/do_flash_upgrade must exist and
+be owned by root for umountfs to execute the upgrade
+procedure.
+
+install_list.txt is a list of packages to
+install after the upgrade. If some packages
+have mutual dependencies on each other, they should
+be put on the same line.
+
+The file local.conf should contain a list of
+architectures with priorities, and a list of
+repositories.
+
+The md5sums are created as follows:
+
+cat install.sh | md5sum -c install.sh.md5
+md5sum install.sh >install.sh.md5
+md5sum local.conf >local.conf.md5
+
+model is from the part of the hardware
+version before the first hyphen.
+
+Example:
+
+MTCAP-0.1 Would be MTCAP
+MTCDT-0.0 Would be MTCDT
+MTCDTIP-0.1 Would be MTCDTIP
