Changed linuxbr to linux, may ultimately change it to linux so it doesn't
conflict with user-mode-linux, need to check on the set-up. Probably gbootroot
should be made to conflict with these deb packages. Options has more
explanation and another hidden option added.

Some even more elaborate changes so that the gui can be ran from the immediate
directory for testing using only the --home option. Also, made sure genext2fs
can be found.

Now there are some hidden options so that root_fs can be made from the
programs from within the source code like:
perl -I . ./gbootroot --home . --template Helper.yard --root-filename root_fs_experiment --root-fs-helper-location ./root_filesystem/root_fs_helper --uml-exclusively on --expect-program ./expect_uml

wrapper for expect_uml, this is a new bug. And added preserve-permissions.

This gets just about every option working, except for uml-kernel and
preserve-ownership. Adds color --stdout. Basically, the bare min is
--template and --stdout for display on console.

Now gbootroot is functioning well as either a GUI or CLI in relation to whether or not arguments are added. Options.pm allows things to be checked before interpreting so that a determination can be made what mode to go in.

This is the start of giving gbootroot some commandline functionality similar to
bootroot, but more specific with the primary goal of allowing root_fs
prototyping without the use of the GUI.

Improved the parameter explanation .. ramdisk_size really wasn't crucial, and
removed mem=16M as a default, first of all this is already standard, and secondly
it may cause problems for users unaware of the MTD Emulators default settings.

Yard won't attempt to make /dev on compressed fs and ro if /dev is a symbolic
link, won't complain when there is an unitialized value in concatation in
Boot, Ramdisk_size is always 4096 for mtdram, this setting isn't really
necessary, but is left anyways.

This adds ceil() to $total_size, and always makes sure that ramdisk_size is

This is even nicer. It gives both mtdram and blkmtd the same memory parameters

More mem adjustments, this time to the spin wheel, 1024 for 1, 8192 for 2,
these are great setting for mtdram .. <16M files can use the small adj.
>16M should zero down with 3 and increment with 2nd button.

A few more improvements to the mtd code to handle memory better 16M increments
for mtdram, will probably do a similiar thing for blkmtd which appears to be
exponential 16 32 64 etc .. ofcourse at 128 things can get narly.

Getting ready for another release.
During the boot stage the filsystem type was used to determine whether
to use the genext2fs (non-root) method or the normal method used by root.
Now the user type is used, this is better because it prevents conflicts
if a different filesystem type is chosen, or if a non-root user changes to a
different filesystem type in the filesystem box and forgets to change back
to genext2fs; however, it prevents root from using the genext2fs method,
which isn't a problem. The sudo requirement for lilo is too much of a
requirement, and will be changed in future versions.
