+#
+# Format rules:x
+#  - Lines beginning with # or % are comments.
+#
+#  - Blank lines and whitespace may be used freely.
+#
+#  - Filenames may be either relative or absolute. 
+#    Any filename not beginning with a slash is relative and
+#    will be resolved relative to the current directory.
+#
+#  - Lines of the form "filename1 -> filename2" will create symbolic (soft)
+#    links on the root fs.  Eg, if you want sh linked to bash
+#    in the root fs you specify: "/bin/sh -> /bin/bash"
+#    (There is no way to specify hardlinks, though hard linked files
+#    that exist on the hard disk will be hard linked on the floppy.)
+#
+#  - Lines of the form "filename1 <= filename2"
+#    will cause filename2 to be copied to filename1 on the boot disk.
+#    This is useful for specifying trimmed-down replacements for
+#    /etc/passwd, /etc/inittab, etc.  filename2 will be found first by
+#    searching PATH, then by searching relative to the current directory.
+#
+#  - Glob designations (?, * and []) are generally allowed, eg /dev/hd[ab]*
+#    Wildcards are not allowed in link specs or replacement specs.
+#
+#  - You may refer to environment variables in these specs by using
+#    a dollar sign.  $RELEASE will be set to the release string of
+#    $kernel.
+#
+#  You generally don't need to specify shared libraries or loaders.
+#  make_root_fs will detect necessary libraries with ldd and include
+#  them automatically.  (But see the comment below regarding RedHat's 
+#  libnss libraries, whose dependencies cannot be automatically detected).
+#
+#  You don't need to explicitly specify intermediate directories
+#  unless you just want to make sure they exist.
+#

+#####  THE DEFAULT SHELL
+#  (I use bash, but it's huge and requires libncurses.so.
+#  Most people grab a smaller lightweight shell, like ash or kiss,
+#  and use that instead.)

+#####  FILES IN /etc, TAKEN FROM YOUR SETUP
+#
+#  The advantage of using your existing /etc/passwd file is that is has
+#  all the correct UIDs and GIDs, which may be useful when restoring
+#  files from tape.  On the other hand, using a trimmed-down passwd
+#  allows you to use a trimmed-down shell, and avoids lots of errors
+#  from check_root_fs about home directories and shells not existing.

+##### INITTAB and GETTY
+# Use one of these pairs, based on your distribution:

+#
+#===== MANDRAKE (7) uses mingetty
+/etc/inittab <= Replacements/etc/inittab.mingetty

+#
+#
+#==== SLACKWARE	uses agetty:
+#/etc/inittab	<= Replacements/etc/inittab.agetty
+#/sbin/agetty
+#
+#
+#==== DEBIAN (1.1) uses a program called "getty" which is actually 
+#                  agetty in disguise:
+#/etc/inittab	<= Replacements/etc/inittab.debian
+#/sbin/getty
+#
+#
+#==== SUSE	uses mingetty:
+#/etc/inittab    <= Replacements/etc/inittab.mingetty     
+#/sbin/mingetty
+#
+#
+# If in doubt, check your /etc/inittab.
+#
+# In any case, check to make sure the *getty* calls in the inittab match
+# the executable you're using.  Yard can't check this and *getty* will
