+      With:

+      TOPOLOGY      a valid topology description or file without the trailing '.rb'
+                    (default is 'all', the entire set of nodes on the default testbed)
+ 
+      IMAGE_PATH    a valid path to a disk image on the image repository
+                    (default is 'baseline.ndz', the latest stable baseline image)

+      TIMEOUT       a duration (in sec.) after which imageNodes should stop waiting for

+                    (default is 800 sec, i.e. 13min 20sec)
