The goal was to build a small distribution that could be used to
modify filesystems in a host-independent way, without root
permissions. But now I find myself using fsimage for all kinds of
tasks, kernel programming, booting laptops without cdroms etc. So
yeah, thanks, I actually think it is pretty clever too. =)
But the source for the host program _is_ included, or rather, the host
program is a shell script.
And, another cool thing is that it comes with full source code. So
people that want to tinker with it could download
fsimage-0.1.2-guest-src.tar.gz and type configure, make and make
install. Download from:

Yep, as long as the tftp server path prefix thing gets sorted out then
I think everything will be ok. But it depends on a bourne shell right
now, maybe it is better to replace the shell script with c code that
can be compiled for both *nix and windows.
