-
π Secure Remote Access: Add support for dropbear to enable secure shell (ssh) and scp operations.
-
β° System Services: Configure services like syslogd, klogd, crond, and syslogd to ensure your system runs smoothly.
-
π¨ Custom Startup Experience: Learn how to display a custom logo during startup and customize inittab, fstab, and crontab.
-
π Network Configuration: Set up network interfaces and create users and groups with passwords.
-
π Debugging Applications: Use strace to debug applications and mdev to set permissions for device nodes.
-
π Linux Filesystems: Explore various options of the mount command on different filesystems like devtmpfs, sysfs, procfs, and tmpfs.
