Actually uArch currently has a complete rootfs including toolchain
and kernel. all installable from web into dir or mounted dir. if you
install to a mount point you can boot the partition or if you install
to a dir, chroot. <br>
<br>
Creating new packages is extremely easy, even more so if your use to
Arch Linux's abs. And its all managed with pacman, install new packages
remove packages, upgrade system etc.<br>
<br>
Current draw back, I still have not worked out a base-micro group using
busybox. So a base file system is quite large. "mainly good for
developers at this point". Currently only supports i386 however once I
think i386 is pretty stable. I'm going to start porting to arm. <br>
<br>
Anyone is welcome to help out if there intrested. <br><br>install instructions can be found at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/uarch/" target="_blank">uArch</a><br>

Sounds surprisingly sane.<br>

Maybe it even uses something less arcane than init-with-runlevels-<br>
and-tons-of-scripts-in-/etc?<br>
