[RULE] Hello!

[Michael A. Peters]

Since someone else hi - I think I will as well.
Been subscribed to the list for awhile - I think I've only posted to it
once.

I've been using Linux since 1997 - my first distro being MKLinux DR3. My
second distro (believe it or not) was Debian Slinky on m68k (it was
awesome - running Linux on an SE/30 with just 20mb of ram and a 100mb
hard drive - it was quite pokey, but it never ever, not once, crashed)

-=-
At any rate - my interest in RULE is slinky - the installer.
I have created my own rpm linux distribution based upon the LFS project
- it installs a quite capable gnome desktop environment. Currently I
only have a kernel for athlon - because (other than macs) athlon is all
I have.

I have a nice little shell script that creates a bootable cdrom
featuring modified slinky to install my packages. None of the
modifications would be applicable to the RULE project - though if I ever
get around to creating a shell script frontend to fdisk, I'll send that
in. I don't think I will, though - my CD has boot options (in addition
to install) for gag (a really good boot loader - I use lilo but I do NOT
install to mbr) and memtest86 - I think I'll just make a boot option for
one of the various front ends to gnu parted.

low performance is not the purpose of my project, slinky is just being
used because it's shell script and therefore easy to tweak - and makes a
good "proof of concept" installer. And slinky is good enough for me.
Anything more is eye candy ;)
