Install a user defined window manager for the X Window System. To make sure all X related package dependencies are getting installed `ENABLE_XORG` will automatically get enabled if `ENABLE_WM` is used. The `rpi2-gen-image.sh` script has been tested with the following list of window managers: `blackbox`, `openbox`, `fluxbox`, `jwm`, `dwm`, `xfce4`, `awesome`.

+## Understanding the script
+The functions of this script that are required for the different stages of the bootstrapping are split up into single files located inside the `bootstrap.d` directory. During the bootstrapping every script in this directory gets executed in lexicographical order:
+
+| Script | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `10-bootstrap.sh` | Debootstrap basic system |
+| `11-apt.sh` | Setup APT repositories |
+| `12-locale.sh` | Setup Locales and keyboard settings |
+| `13-kernel.sh` | Build and install RPi2 Kernel |
+| `20-networking.sh` | Setup Networking |
+| `21-firewall.sh` | Setup iptables Firewall |
+| `30-security.sh` | Setup users and security settings |
+| `31-logging.sh` | Setup logging |
+| `41-uboot.sh` | Build and Setup Uboot |
+| `42-fbturbo.sh` | Buld and Setup fbturbo Xorg driver |
+| `50-firstboot.sh` | First boot actions |
+
+All the required configuration files that will be copied to the generated OS image are located inside the `files` directory. It is not recommended to modify these configuration files manually.
+
+| Directory | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `boot` | Boot and RPi2 configuration files |
+| `firstboot` | Scripts that get executed on first boot |
+| `iptables` | Firewall configuration files |
+| `modprobe.d` | Kernel Module Blacklist configuration |
+| `mount` | Fstab configuration |
+| `network` | Networking configuration files |
+| `sysctl.d` | Swapping and Network Hardening configuration |

## Logging of the bootstrapping process
All information related to the bootstrapping process and the commands executed by the `rpi2-gen-image.sh` script can easily be saved into a logfile. The common shell command `script` can be used for this purpose:
