+Clean room implementation of runlevel/init.d/SYS V init applets for
+busybox, aiming for LSB compliance.<BR><BR>
+
+<A HREF="http://www.busybox.net/">Busybox</A> currently has no support for runlevels
+and init.d scripts, also known as the SYS V init system.  My software
+adds that support as standard busybox applets written in the C langauge. <BR><BR>
+
+I am aiming for <A HREF="http://www.linuxbase.org/">LSB</A> compliance, so Linux is
+the supported platform, but I have no objections to making sure it works
+on other busybox supported platforms.  This was in fact written to the
+LSB specs, with no reference to the source code of similar systems.  Any
+LSB compliant init.d script will be compatible with this.  All the
+support programs and functions mentioned in the LSB spec are provided as
+part of this system.  Other support programs and functions that I have
+found useful will be provided.  Example init.d "scripts", written in C,
+are also included, especially all the system scripts that LSB requires
+distros to provide.<BR><BR>
+
+I am writing this as part of a Linux distro that I am building.  One of
+the design criterea for this distro is to boot as fast as possible. 
+Typicall Linux boots involve a lot of shell scripts, which are typically
+a lot slower than C.  Most of these shell scripts are part of the SYS V
+init process.  By writing this in C, writing init scripts themselves in
+C, and writing as much support stuff in C as possible, I am able to make
+a major improvement in boot speed.<BR><BR>
+
+Features -
+<UL>
+<LI>Small, like all busybox applets.</LI>
+<LI>Fast, the main reason for writing it.</LI>
+<LI>Intelligent, LSB requires an init system to determine dependencies and
+run the init scripts in the correct order.</LI>
+</UL>
+Busybox does not include named and portmap applets, so boot_named.c and 
+boot_portmap.c should be considered as examples.  Skeleton is also an
+example.
