jkh 95/05/25 11:43:42 Added: release root_crunch.conf Removed: release cpio_crunch.conf Log: The cpio floppy is dead. All hail the root floppy. Basically, this is just a simple name change. People were historically confused by the "cpio floppy", having no clear idea as to what it was (even if they knew what "cpio" stood for) given that the name gives one absolutely no indication as to what it's FOR. It's about as content free as calling it a "data floppy". Root floppy isn't much better, but it's got some historical weight (Linux divides their set into boot and root floppies) and is reasonably descriptive for a floppy that comprises the beginnings of a stand-alone root filesystem.
