Thanks.  I've come to that realization and once I test the process I'll
update the wiki appropriately.

Nowhere on the wiki does it really give a full set of instructions for
how to do this.  I THINK I've found some relevant instructions; once I
run through them and test that they work I'll update the wiki with new
instructions so the next user can have an easier time.

One note is that mkfs.ubifs isn't available in FC12 or 13; only in 14 is
it available again.  So one needs to backport the mtd-utils package in
order to build a UbiFS image.  I'll be sure to document this, too, once
it's all tested.

Thanks!
