A valuable point in muLinux is to use the same interface (the Setup command)
either in the boot scripts pool, either as interactive usage.
Standards are important, but I dislike this kind of standard. First, because
it is not a standard: RedHat uses /etc/init.d, for example.
Second, because currently (in Redhat and Mandrake, for example) I'm
experiencing interferences between boot-scripts and linuxconf or other graphical
setup interface.
As example: in recent versions I introduced some "wizard" in order to
configure mu, isn'true? Well: they are simple script that call Setup,
passing it some parameter.
