How to run a CTF event
======================

When a CTF image boots, it goes through the following sequence:

1. Mount a partition labelled "CTF-STATE" read-only under /var/lib/ctf,
   if such a partition exists
2. Mount a partition labelled "CTF" under /mnt/ctf
3. For every file matching /mnt/ctf/${pkg}.pkg, mount it under /opt/$pkg
4. For every directory matching /opt/*/service/${d}, copy it recursively
   into /var/service/$d
