+* validate partition schema/layout:

+  -> fat16 partition if using syslinux
+* implement missing options (--kernel, --initrd, --uninstall,...)
+* improve error handling :)
+* implement logic for storing information about copied files
+  -> register every single file?
+* get rid of all TODOs in code :)
+* graphical version? :)
