Re: Help with technical infromation

Thanks Robert.
  Do you or anyone else know any links to websites or books that provides comprehensive tutorial on linux as this would be really helpful so I dont keep asking individual questions or definitons :).
   
  I am sorry if this isn't the right way to go about it as I do not want to stall the progress so far made n the port and well done everyone that has contributed to the project.
   
  Thanks for your anticipated cooperation

initrd = short for inital root drive (more or less) is used
to get the system running far
enough for the next stage
ext2 image = commonly a "snapshot " of a harddrive in a file in this
case actually is used by opie
haret = the boot loader would normally be one of LILO or Grub but...
OPIE = this would be what is on the ext2 image and would be
the brand or distribution of linux being used
