<title>Celebrating Accomplishments</title>

<para>As the Pocket Linux Project draws to a close we should take a moment
|
|
to celebrate all of our accomplishments. Some of the highlights are listed
|
|
below:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>We have built a system, from source code only, that fully
|
|
implements all of the commands described in the Filesystem Hierarchy
|
|
Standard requirements for a root filesystem.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>We have learned how to use Internet resources to locate and
|
|
download the source code needed to build a GNU/Linux system.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>We have written basic system startup and shutdown scripts and
|
|
configured them to execute in the proper runlevels.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>We have included support for multiple users on virtual consoles
|
|
and implemented permissions on system files.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>But most importantly, we have learned some good design
|
|
techniques and project management skills that will enable us to tackle
|
|
any future projects with ease and confidence.</para>

<para>The Pocket Linux system is nearly overflowing, so there really is no
|
|
more room to expand the current root diskette to support any additional
|
|
commands and features. This leaves us with a few choices of where to go
|
|
next. We can:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Find a way to expand the current system just enough to host a
|
|
small application. (For more information about hosting applications
|
|
with Pocket Linux, see Appendix A)</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Remove multi-user capability and some of the less often used
|
|
commands from the root disk, replacing them with utilities like tar
|
|
and gzip that would be useful for a rescue/restore diskset.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Use the techniques we have learned to design and build an entire
|
|
GNU/Linux system and install it on a more spacious hard disk
|
|
partition. (For more infomation about building a larger system, check
|
|
out the GNU/Linux System Architect Toolkit at: <ulink
|
|
url="http://architect.sourceforge.net/">http://architect.sourceforge.net/</ulink>.)</para>

|
|
<para>Which ever path is chosen, we can move forward confidently, armed
|
|
with the knowledge we need to be successful in our endeavors.</para>
