Finit is a reimplementation of the Eeepc "fastinit" program based on itssystem calls with gaps filled with frog DNA.Finit's purpose is to build upon the general workings of fastinit andimprove/optimize it for Xandros or alternative distributions running onthe Eeepc. Finit comes in three flavors: finit is a replica of the Asusfastinit, finit-mod is an improved drop-in replacement for fastinit,and finit-alt is a generic replacement for other systems. Finit-modand finit-alt were much improved with patches from Metalshark. See more information at http://helllabs.org/finit/Usage scenarios---------------1. Replace the original Eeepc 702 fastinit (finit-mod)2. Allow fast booting in alternative Linux distributions running on the   Eeepc and other netbooks (finit-alt)Finit-alt is distribution-specific. Currently it generates a finit-mdvexecutable for Mandriva 2008/2008.1 systems. Smurfy ported it toeeeXubuntu, and parts of his port have been merged to finit-alt.Finit-alt features------------------Finit-alt reads configuration information from /etc/finit.conf. Seethe source code for available options.Rebooting and halting---------------------Finit handles SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for reboot and halt, and listens to/dev/initctl so standard Linux reboot and halt commands should alsowork.Debugging---------Add finit_debug to the kernel parameter line to enable trace messagesand to run a shell after the X server.
