What do you think of using lua for writing /linuxrc? Anyone here have
experience in lua?
I'm about to dive in headlong :-)

I still haven't looked at lua, so I don't know how it would work for

small a boot-strap lrp could be made. Root.lrp

Good question. I think that is a good idea. Rick started doing this very

Thank you.

One other question, how are we going to resolve package name disputes,
like two different versions of the same package? Should we create an
archive subfolder for old versions? Or a glibc2.1 subfolder for the new
