====== week - 6 ======

Targets decided for this week are
  * Add fedora live CD to BKO
  * Improve the user facing page of BKO
  * Improve the boot time menu

===== 29 - 30 July =====
  - Started to work on Fedora live CD
  - Collected all basic stuff needed 
     - Live CD
     - Initrd and kernel
     - Kernel modules for networking
  - It has taken unreasonably long time as fedora_11 lives cd was exceptionally slow on qemu for me, I couldn't get needed kernel modules from inside CD.
     - I decided to migrate to kvm for better performance. but I was getting error ''could not open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory''
  

===== 1 - 2 July =====
  - Wrote script which can generate new modified initramfs automatically with everything added from original initramfs.
  - Now, actual work of understanding /init script and understanding how they use iso image as root starts.
  - Done with modifications in /sbin/real-init which will (hopefully) mount the httpfs partition over root.
