Description: 
 rootskel   - Skeleton root filesystem used by debian-installer
 rootskel-bootfloppy - Skeleton root filesystem used by debian-installer boot floppy
Changes: 
 rootskel (1.62ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
 .
   * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
     - Provide the ability to choose a remote logging host and port if
       specified on the kernel command line.
     - init: Add support for disabling the shells on tty2 and tty3 by
       specifying a 'noshell' option on the kernel cmdline. Useful for
       unattended installations on a public place.
 .
 rootskel (1.62) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Remove Bdale Garbee, Kenshi Muto and Matt Kraai as Uploaders with many
     thanks for their past contributions.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Fix FTBFS on alpha.
 .
 rootskel (1.61) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * S35term: script is sourced, so remove the shebang.
   * S35framebuffer-linux: export TERM_FRAMEBUFFER so that can be used to test
     whether framebuffer is available or not (e.g. in localechooser).
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Translated bootfloppy init to a C program, this allows dropping
     the shell from the boot floppy to save space.
 .
 rootskel (1.60) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * S40framebuffer-module-linux-alpha: remove redundant architecture test.
   * S40framebuffer-module-linux-x86: allow for the fact that vesafb and fbcon
     can be (and are) compiled in for i386 and amd64 kernels.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Fix debugshell on boot floppy, there is no sh command, have to use the
     klibc sh.
   * Rewrite boot floppy init to try to load a cpio archive direct from the
     floppy with no encapsulating filesystem. This will save space by
     allowing modularising ext2 in the kernel.
   * There's no sleep command on the boot floppy, don't try to use it.
 .
 rootskel (1.59) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Fix number of CPUs count for alpha.
   * Add number of CPUs count for hppa. Thanks to Grant Grundler for his
     suggestion how that could be done.
   * Stop creating /usr/lib/prebaseconfig.d; it was deprecated ages ago.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Modify init to support userdevfs again.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Use new busybox' cttyhack in /etc/inittab to ensure that the console
     gets identified correctly as a tty for the init scripts.
     Requires: busybox (>= 1:1.9.1-3).
