+Command-line interface:

+ * "prokit install", "prokit shell", "prokit opkg", and "prokit build"
+ now accept either a block device file name or a directory name
+ (previously only accepting the latter). A block device is

+ * A new "prokit installer-pc" command has been added to install a PC
+ system onto a block device.
+ * A new "prokit mkinitramfs" command has been added to generate an
+ initramfs containing an installed system.

+System installation changes:
* A basic "/etc/group" file is now generated on ProteanOS systems.

- the specified root directory is not empty.
* "prokit install" in the ProteanOS profile now only copies
"/etc/resolv.conf" and "/etc/hostname" from the host system if the
platform is "dev". It also now does not enable system services on
the "dev" platform. On other platforms, it enables services and
sets the hostname to "proteanos".
