**Warning**
The current version cannot be recompiled by itself due to a corruption bug in the toolchain leading to corrupted libc.

The Bootstrap.sh file will build a working system from a GCC-glibc toolchain if desired, it can be downloaded from the code section or copied out of the compressed rootfs.cpio/rootfs.tgz image above.

The bzImage is a standard defconfig linux kernel.
The rootfs.tgz is the initrd image.

Current Features
+ Can be run from any medium (needs appropriate bootloader)
+ Does not have a bundled bootloader. (on todo list)
+ Does not support Dynamic compiled programs (on todo list)
+ Currently is able to compile programs compatible with Musl-libc and written in C (static only at this time)
+ Currently only supports ethernet connection (wifi on the todo list)
+ No package Manager (also on todo list)

Install to disk
To install to disk create a folder named targetfs in your working directory and mount the desired 
drive/partition to targetfs. Execute the script /usr/absentos/scripts/bootstrap.sh and it will install 
to the targetfs subfolder. For example create directory /test/targetfs then cd to /test and execute 
bootstrap script. The script will create a "code" and if missing "targetfs" directory then place all 
source in the code directory and build ths system in the targetfs directory.

Packages
Binutils and Busybox to be replaced by elftoolchain and toybox.
pcc, flex, Quasar M4, byacc, musl-libc
