e.g Plug your card into a PC/Laptop - alter a config file from WIndows/Linux/Mac/Another Pi and then slot the card into a PI and be up and running with a away from home WiFi setting etc.
Ideally, I've wanted this to be an automatic built in feature of Raspbian but I've been unable to get any traction on getting this done at source
However, its now been shown that its trivial to edit an SD Card image and alter any scripts/config files that are held in plain text.

The original programmer adopted a slightly controversial approach and therefore I was looking for someone to hopefully "re-boot the franchise" and write a nice prog to replace it.
My thoughts are - one program that asks you for the defaults that you always want from raspi-config (eg. - I would expand filesystem,boot to desktop and overclock to 1GHz) everytime i write a new SD card.
I'd also want it to alter wifi settings and move wpa-supplicant to /boot and ask for 1st boot settings (mayne a bit trickier)
Then the image could be written to SD card - burnt - plugged into a Pi - and lo and behold - up and running with WiFi in desktop ready for young kids to use start Scratching
So looking for enthusiastic person with that magic ingredient "a bit of time"
