Bruce Dubbs 13e7d79417 Fix binutils extracted directory version in binutils
build instructions.  This will be reverted at the next upstream release
when the tarball name is again synced with the extracted directory
name.

Fix bootscripts to properly export IN_BOOT variable.

Adjust minimum kernel for the host sysem to 2.6.25
due to a udev requirement.

Network Configuration:
   Script Files:
      /etc/rc.d/init.d/network
      /sbin/ifup
      /sbin/ifdown
      /lib/boot/*/*

   Configuration Files:
      /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.*
      Note: ifconfig.* could be either a file or directory,
            but the filename extension must be the same name
            as the network interface you wish it to belong to.
            The files within the directory will be processed
            in alphanumerical order on boot, and reversed on
            shutdown.
      - IFACE: the interface that is being configured (e.g. eth0)
      - SERVICE: which script to run in services directory.
      - ONBOOT: if set to yes, this interface will be started on
                bootup, and stopped on shutdown

      /etc/sysconfig/network
      - HOSTNAME: Value of the system's hostname

   Additional Configuration:
      ipv4-static:
      - IP: static IP Address
      - GATEWAY: Specifies the IP Address of the gateway server
      - PREFIX: CIDR prefix of IP Address, defaults to 24 if not set
      - PEER: IP Address of peer (for point-to-point connections and tunnels)
      - BROADCAST: broadcast address

      ipv4-static-route:
      - TYPE: network (default type if not specified), default, host or
        unreachable
      - IP: IP Address of target (for network, host and unreachable)
      - PREFIX: CIDR prefix of target (for network, host and unreachable)
      - GATEWAY: IP Address of gateway to reach target (for network and default)


SetClock configuration:
   Script Files:
      /etc/rc.d/init.d/setclock
      - SKIPTMPCLEAN: skips cleaning of /tmp directory

   Configuration Files:
      /etc/sysconfig/clock
      - UTC: 1 assumes hwclock is in UTC
             0 assumes hwclock is in local time
      - CLOCKPARAMS: any additional options to be passed to hwclock

CleanFS configuration:
   Script Files:
      /etc/rc.d/init.d/cleanfs

   Configuration Files:
      /etc/sysconfig/createfiles
      Each line is parsed, using space as a deliminator.
      [NAME] [TYPE] [PERMISSIONS] [USER] [GROUP]
