I don't know how to put two images, but I can tell you how to build an
image into Linux or, even better, I can build kernels for you that have
the right image.

I'm nearly finished rebuilding Linux-libre kernels for gNewSense/mipsel
using the correct assembler flag to avoid CPU lock-ups, but a rebuild
should take no take, because I'm using ccache.

I'll put the GNU next to Freedo, please give me a call or have someone
contact me on IRC me if you want something different.

I really don't know.

It's plainpnm (.ppm), the attached patch is what I use to add Freedo.
It also contains instructions on how to generate the image.
