+## Usage:
+1. Grab a Chrome OS RMA Shim from somewhere. Most of them have already been leaked and aren't too difficult to find.
+2. Download a Devuan live ISO. Run it inside a VM and install it to a disk image. Mount the disk image in the host.
+3. Run `sudo DEBUG=1 ./build.sh`. The `rootfs_dir` argument should point to where you mounted the rootfs in part 2.
+4. Flash the generated image to a USB drive or SD card.
