You can boot it from any device supported by BIOS and bootloader.
or what the word is.
I actually prefer that it is frugal. But your answer was very helpful.
Does that mean that instead of usung aufs? and Squash? it
only uses vmlinuz and initrd and as you say the root is imbedded.
I know almost nothing. My vague grasp is that vmlinuz is the kernel
and that initrd is a kind of script that read what grub menu.lst has to
offer as puppy code like pfix=ram and other such codes.
Then the init read scripts take care of a lot of things as an overlay
to the kernel.
So what you say is that instead of a big overlay that take a long time to
boot Technosarius has imbedded the "root" into that vmlinuz?
I guess that is what Tiny Core do too or similar? Them having to us
odd name for their two files. That can also boot frugally and are fast booting.
Anyway thanks for caring about me. Kudos to Technosarius for putting time into such experiments. Cool indeed
