fs_deb3B is a very small root file-system
based on Debian Woody and on busybox (1.0-pre7).

The following sub-versions exist:
	fs_deb3B_2.ex2.bz2 (primary soft-linked version, file-system)
	fs_deb3B_3.tar.bz2 (tar of the system, hard-linked, highly compact)
	fs_deb3B_5.tar.bz2 (enhanced)

I personally prefer the latter. Please check if the MD5 matches.

It has a lot of standard daemons, including sshd, tftp, ...,
and I personally use it for quickly starting UML on my Pentium-II server...

The static IP address configured is
	192.168.0.147
but can be easily changed via
	senv if 23.23.23.147
or any other ip.

(For fs_deb3B_{3,5}.tar.bz2, if=10.1.7.3)

penv/xenv display persistent attributes.

The command line
	linux ubd0=... if=24.24.24.147
gives quickly another ip on UML startup.
(when you want to start a lot of UMLs on your host without
 bothering with configurations.)

Note: dpkg/apt is not included.
This is intended to be a very small root file-system.

I usually set UML with MEM=48M, but 32Mbytes are enough.


Question: what means fs_xxxNx_N ?
	* fs_deb3B_5
		File-system Debian-based, Debian 3.x, Busybox
		Version 5
	* fs_deb3B_5.ex2 means the entire ext2 file-system
	* tar.bz2 extension means just a tar-file, compressed bz2!


Have fun with UML.
