-working title for our development baby. Please contact me if you have a
-good idea.
+For the impatient: try out to compile your own Linux system for generic

+If you have more time to find out how it works, read on.

Installation Instructions
-------------------------
-The installation takes it's configuration from two config files in the toplevel
-directory: .config (for userland) and .kernelconfig (for the kernel). You can
-either copy them to this location or, for the userland, enter "make menuconfig"
-or "make xconfig" to generate a configuration. The kernel configuration is
-currently not included in the global configuration system, so you have to
-provide a .kernelconfig file manually.

+foobar_config" to bring the config file in place.
-When everything is configured just enter "make world" and wait... The resulting
-root filesystem will be in the root/ directory.
