# Standalone Bootable Machines ( SBM ) Features
# ---------------------------------------------
#
# - you can pull the power at any time on the running system
#
#
# - the resulting usb-stick or CompactFlash system will
#   be a subset of your development system
#
#	- if you execute these scripts on debian system,
#	you will have a debian usb-stick 
#
#	- if you execute these scripts on fedora system,
#	you will have a fedora usb-stick 
#
#	- if you execute these scripts on slackware system,
#	you will have a slackware usb-stick 
#
#	- similarly for other distro
#
#
#	- SBM does NOT use busybox or diet-libc etc
#
#
# - you can make a standalone boot system out of any media
#	- usb-stick
#	- compact flash
#	- cdrom
#	- network boot
#	- hard disk
#	- floppy ( very tricky )
#
#
# - you can install your favorite boot loader
#	- lilo
#	- grub
#	- syslinux
#	- isolinux ( for cdrom )
#
# - SBM fits onto small media and minimal system memory
#	- 8MB /dev/ram0 expands into a fully functional 32MB linux
#	- 8MB /dev/ram1 for swap
#	- 8MB /dev/ram2 for writing into /var
#	- 8MB /dev/ram3 for writing into /usr
#	- 8MB /dev/ram4 for writing into /home ( temporary /home )
#
#	- 160MB /dev/loop1 for X11
#	- 450MB /dev/loop2 for KDE
#
#	- additional user defined options in other /dev/loop devices
#
#
# - SBM has several modes of booting
#
#	- initrd debug - minimal initrd to do some debugging
#	of your /linuxrc file
#
#	- rootfs debug - typical rootfs
#	( /, /bin, /dev, /etc, /sbin, /tmp, /usr, /var .. )
#
#	- X11 - boot into X11 mode ( init 4 )
#
#	- KDE - boot into KDE desktop mode ( init 5 )
#
#
# - you can add additional user defined customizations
#	- online updates and patches
#	- foreign language support
#	- wireless support
#	- security audit tools
#	- dedicated systems ( video players )
#
# - simplified process ( or complicated process )
#	- first create the initrd and rootfs
#	- create minimal X11 if needed
#	- create minimal KDE if needed
#	- save on distribution server
#
#	- users download from the distribution server
#	and install onto their media
#
#	- users add any additional functionality
#	( wireless, languages, security tools, etc )
