    v26 v27  
    2121
    2222Sali is created due the fact that the current initrd/kernel and BOEL utilities are outdated. The trigger was that there is no ''grub2'' support. We
    23 thought this could be easily added, but during this process we decided to upgrade all software to the newest levels. The biggest hurdle was detecting of which hardware is in the system ([http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html udev]). We believe that SALI is better in detecting which hardware is in the system then the SystemImager setup.
    24 
    25 The focus for this project is/was:
    26  * Easily create a new kernel/initrd when a new kernel is released or one of the sofware components is
    27 updated, eg: [http://www.busybox.net busybox]. The SALI initrd contains all kernel modules and software utilities. 
    28 In SystemImager this software is distributed as a separate package (BOEL binaries).

    3026 * Support for the old generated SystemImager scripts. These scripts uses ''/etc/init.d/functions'' which is included
