[svlug] mroe rh-7.0 fun

[Alvin Oga]

hi ya charles

yeah...toms rtbt is nice.... i use it too...
too bad its so small though.... needs real bash and e2fsck

have a different system ( rh-6.2 derivative-
client requests ) that is 2.5Mb or so ...and boots itself into /dev/ram...
	was intended to be used on 4Mb flash disks

	- another client has a system that removes all the
	  boot messages and shows their logo instead.... 
	- i need to snag that methology

some say debian can replace your kernel while its running
w/o ever rebooting....neat trick if it actually works...
