Hi folks@lwn.net!

I'd like to inform you about version 0.1.0 of my project Alindis.  You
find it (mirrored) at the following locations:

Website:
  http://alindis.sunsite.dk/
  http://alindis.sourceforge.net/

Packages:
  ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/alindis/source/
  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=39764
  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/alindis/

Alindis - A GNU/Linux Distribution is a comprehensive guide which leads
the reader from zero to his/her own GNU/Linux distribution.  In the
course of the lecture, the reader will be able to reproduce the creation
of the Alindis GNU/Linux distribution, the example implementation of the
concepts shown there.

This release marks the beginning of the Alindis 0.1 development line.
The next "stable" release will be Alindis 0.2, which will be released on
Monday, August 12, 2002, as my "Matura work" (student research project).

This version has a (very) much shorter table of contents and includes
updated DocBook technology, as well as the new sandbox directory. The
following sections are (partially) done. 1. Package management: 1.1.
Concepts and 1.2. Existing solutions. 3. Installation: 3.1. The big
goal, 3.2. Booting the PC, and 3.3. Booting from floppy disk. There are
some licensing questions to be resolved and TODO's everywhere.

Regards,

Felix Rabe
