I'm not sure I like the security implications of this.  This would mean that if
you run partimage-server on your network, anyone on your network with a Fedora
LiveCD with this installed can dump images on your server.

Good idea.  But rename to partimage.README.html to avoid use of the word Fedora
and SRPM clobbering.

Also, for partimaged-certs.cnf, you should mention in the README that this file
should be customized.  Not everyone is in Rio. :)
