  I am trying to build from the source, but I got these errors:

  $ ./build.sh

  I only have four images in the source tarball. Are there image missing included?

  I just realized what “NO-INCLUDED” meant. I removed it from CSV, the image is generated.

  I guess it’s about the permission of inclusion of Red Hat logo, so the file is not included.

  @Yu-Jie Lin:
  That’s correct, we were asked not to distribute the Red Hat logo. You will find the details in images/COPYING

  Here’s an alternative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RedHat.svg,
  although even the Wikipedia version can’t be distributed completely freely.

  I have improved the build script for the next version to handle such errors a bit better. You can already download it.

  @Donjan, the new one handles better.

  I have another suggest about how the build script check gnuclad. It currently find gnuclad in fixed location /usr/local/bin/gnuclad. That might not be right place for distro’s official packages, or for people like me installing on my own ~/bin/gnuclad.

  Here is my changes:
  $ diff -u build.sh.orig build.sh

  It can be `type -P gnuclad` (bash builtin) instead of `which`, but it seems all scripts I have seen use `which`.

  Thank you for your valuable input!

  I’ve streamlined the newest version of the script and hopefully caught all cases. It should handle manual and automatic installation gracefully now.
