[edit] Reference distro

[edit] Demonstrate the feature set of rpm5.org

[edit] build up to /bin/sh

[edit] INSTALLERS (As different distros have different needs)

• LiveCD installer
  • I think many noobies still like to test drive 1st and install 2nd w/o having to reboot.
• cinch from cAos NSA (fast and light)
• Please add others.

[edit] other tools required?

• Developer Tools like "devtool" perhaps

[edit] Base core distro
