Good deal. :-)

Which site was that? All of my code projects are now on
http://www.digitalmages.com/. If you have any problems with that site, let
me know.

I'm not distributing it, no, but you can get the rough idea of how to do so
from documentation projects like the Linux-From-Scratch, etc. The only thing
I'm doing differently is how I build a lot of the packages, my deviations
from the LHFS, and the butt-load of scripts I wrote to automate the build
process. Outside of that, it's all pretty straight-forward.

If I ever get something redistributable, I'll let you know. As it is, you
need a working Linux system to do the build and bootstrap process. I don't
have a working installation set.

The init scripts are on the site, though somewhat dusty. I haven't rolled
any of the more recent changes into that tarball yet, since I wanted to do
some documentation updates. But, if people are actually using it, I may just
have to do that. ;-)
