Ok that souns pretty good. If you would like I will upload my additions into a new directory tomorrow evening. The comments are still sparse, but the commands are functional. I know you mentioned it in passing some time ago, but I did want to confirm the clf-bootscripts work like a charm. I have been using them to do my work. Let me know if you have any objections to using these scripts. Also I did notice the comments about prefering patches over seds for source reuse. I have a patch for clfs-bootscripts that is a combination of a few seds needed to make the minimal system initscripts run from within /tools/etc. Would you prefer the seds as commands on the bootscript page, or a patch?
