caae1f01d5 Changed to agetty first in control structure, and changed Helper.yard
to be only a init=/bin/bash fs.

f18efcaba7 Some more changes, hopefully good ones, de-emphasized make-debian-x11
root_fs test, and emphasized learning how to used the yard method.

31de530a82 No sense using root_fs_helper to test .. because now need to append
init=/bin/bash .. go to the good stuff quicker in help.

9c9e229c1d The miracles of testing, had to change the conditional because
Mandrake installs both getty and mingetty.

1e51a10101 This pretty much completes the development cycle for 1.4.0, unless
anything major comes up.  Added some links to the webpage, information
how to customize the kernel in the source package, and ups the date,
though that will probably be done one more time.

544918f4a9 Won't need a gbootroot-nest1 package, afterall, will just set NEST=1,
this will increase memory requirements just a little bit .. was
thinking about 2.

9cede96d0f Fixed a bug which causes lock-ups during seconf fs creation with
EXPECT, and a bug where .options wasn't being written to disk or the
path was being altered when a variable was being altered.  This also
gets things trim and ready with the coolest discovery being that a
nested kernel can run on the host and in it's nest.  I'll be testing
other nested levels to discover how far this can go and be
incorporated in one package which is nice.

23c5e6f602 Have the whole uml kernel, modules, tools, and genext2fs properly
compiling now that a new binutils was installed.  Now need to make the
helper_root_fs and Initrd with the uml kernel which was just made and
should be just about there.  This will all be done as non-root.

Initrd.gz stuff is now set-up.  This is nice.

d077def592 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.

6dbb2d58c7 Added another technique in the FAQ to show how space can be saved on the
root_fs by using the libraries from the initrd.  Liav instigated this by
asking a question related to FAQ question 14, "So if I understand correctly,
it is not possible to copy libc from /dev/ram0 to /dev/ram1 before mounting
/dev/ram1 as / ?

Liav pointed out how Yard can make boot/root floppies with a compressed root
filesystem.  Edited FAQ question 13 to correctly reflect how gz compressed
root filesystems may be booted without an initrd.
