-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The purpose of this package is to establish a basic configuration that
follows normal system administration policies.  That is, files are
located in the *proper* directories and have the *correct*
permissions.

Since no two SAs will ever agree as to the exact properness and
correctness is for any given system, I expect this will evolve to be a
consensus definition of what a Linux system should be.

This is basically an ALPHA release.  If you are not sure of what you
are doing, DON'T USE THIS PACKAGE.  I am starting this and expect to
have a lot of mistakes pointed out.  Eventually, I hope this will
evolve to be the definitive answer for the setup of a Linux system.
In any case run the program WITHOUT the -f flag to see what it tells
you that may be wrong with your system.

Be sure that you make a boot-able root disk before you change anything
on your system.
