     1.9 +Sat is a toll in the spirit of all SliTaz tool, all commands and options are
    1.10 +accessible via the usage or help command. To create a distro you first need
    1.11 +to have some ARM packages. You can use custom cook the one from SliTaz mirror,
    1.12 +put them all in a packages/ directory and sat will install them. Then run
    1.13 +'sat gen' with your custom --options to build an initramfs. To boot the distro

    1.17  History
    1.18  -------
    1.19  While I was porting SliTaz to ARM I ended by creating a lot of initramfs to
    1.20 -test the SliTaz boot, packages and so on. Si I first wrote a small script,
    1.21 -then improved it so I just have to put include packages in a single directory
    1.22 -and all custom files in a rootfs directory. I also wanted virtual disk
    1.23 -suport so I can code under Qemu and save my work. So this how sat is born,
    1.24 -one we may have use TazLito or a new SliTaz Live tool, but at the time being
    1.25 -sta and the way it work feet all my needs
    1.26 +test the SliTaz boot, packages and so on. So I first wrote a small script,
    1.27 +then improved it so just have to put include packages in a single directory
    1.28 +and all custom files in a rootfs directory. I also wanted virtual disk support
    1.29 +so I can code under Qemu and save my work. This is how sat is born, one day
    1.30 +we may use TazLito or have a new SliTaz Live tool, but at the time being 'sat'
    1.31 +and the way it work feet all my needs to buils custom distro and boot then
    1.32 +with qemu-system-arm.
