Mini/Temporary ProteanOS Development Kit
----------------------------------------
-This is miniprokit, a small and simple version of the ProteanOS
-Development Kit (which is not yet finished).
-
-miniprokit can install a ProteanOS system and run a ProteanOS shell
-within an isolated file system environment using the chroot utility.
-It is similar in function to the debootstrap program of Debian and
-derivatives.
-
-miniprokit can run on any standard GNU or BusyBox system (or probably
-any UNIX-like system with GNU Wget and Coreutils installed). Aside from
-standard UNIX utilities, it needs wget, sha256sum, mount, and chroot.
-
-It requires superuser permission to run, as it uses the mount and chroot
-utilities.
-
-Installing a ProteanOS system can be done as follows (assuming use of
-sudo):
-
- $ sudo ./miniprokit.sh install root
-
-To cross install another architecture, use the -a option (beware that
-only an architecture supported by your CPU can be installed and run),
-e.g.:
-
- $ sudo ./miniprokit.sh install -a i686-linux-glibc root
-
-Platforms can be chosen using the -P option (ProteanOS currently
-provides "dev", "ao751h", and "dimension2400"):
-
- $ sudo ./miniprokit.sh install -P dev root
-
-Start a ProteanOS shell in an isolated file system environment as
-follows:
-
- $ sudo ./miniprokit.sh shell root
+This is miniprokit, a small and simple predecessor of the ProteanOS
+Development Kit (prokit). It was developed as a temporary and crude
+tool to install ProteanOS systems until prokit could replace it. It is
+now obsolete, unmaintained, and no longer functional. Please use prokit
+instead.
