- If you want to see what was installed on the flash device, you
can reconnect it and mount it.
- Essentially, 'mm_local_install' formatted the flash device as
FAT,
- installed the SYSLINUX boot loader and boot loader configuration
file,
- and installed all the files in
the 'ram-minimyth-{version}.tar.bz2' file from the MiniMyth distribution,

+ The 'mm_local_install' script assumes that your sh shell is a
working, ash compatible shell.
+ As a result, distributions such as Ubuntu that link sh to the
+ <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Almquist_shell";>dash</a> shell,
+ will have a problem.
+ While the dash shell is a direct descendant of the ash shell,
+ it has a
+ <a
href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/139097";>broken
implementation of ash's local command</a>.
+ Since the 'mm_local_install' and 'mm_local_helper' scripts
make extensive use of ash's local command,
+ they will not work on systems that use bash.
+ In the future, I may work around this glaring bug in the dash
shell.
