# Generated by make_debian.

# This template creates a complete Debian system which is more streamlined 
# than the base.tgz used for normal installations.  Once everything is made, 
# you can use user-mode-linux and apt to tweak the system. 
# Make-debian generates all the information you need.  You will need dswim and 
# file-rc installed, and you will have to be running a Debian system to make 
# this template.  Make_debian ditches info, man, and doc files by default
# and timezone info not found on the host system, but gives you the choice
# to decide otherwise.  

# Characteristics:  user: root passwd: root 
#                   user: user passwd: user
#                   Uses devfs.
    
# IMPORTANT NOTE:  Things slow down noticeably when the buffer gets too big in
# the verbosity box so consider closing it with the slider for faster 
# generation.  There are several ways to accomplish this:  
# Choose Edit->Stages->"user defined" and go one stage at a time, closing 
# the verbosity box with the slider bar between each stage, and then 
# reopen the verbosity box.  If the stage is particularly long, you 
# can toggle the slider bar to close the verbosity box and reopen it
# again clearing the buffer in the process.  You may choose a lower 
# verbosity level, or you may keep the verbosity box off altogether and
# look at /tmp/gbootroot_tmp'time-date'/verbose or 
# /tmp/gboot_non_root_`id -u`/verbose (normal user).
