yaird 0.0.13-5 (armel binary) in ubuntu jaunty

 Yaird generates initial boot images in initramfs format.
 .
 The boot image is an intermediate step between the boot loader (eg.
 Grub, Lilo) and the init scripts on the root file system; it loads
 modules and enables devices to a level where the kernel can access the
 real root file system, and then hands over control to the init scripts.
 .
 Main features:
  - Strict build logic: Less risk of producing non-booting ramdisks
  - Small ramdisks: Optimized for the currently running system
 .
 Main shortcomings:
  - No automatic firmware loading (some SCSI drivers needs manual work)
  - Limited support for encrypted disks (enable manually in config)
  - Produced ramdisks cannot boot into a different system setup!
 .
 Yaird is good for stable systems, like servers (especially if managed
 remotely) and embedded systems.
 .
 If you need a flexible ramdisk tool, then use initramfs-tools instead.
 .
 See http://wiki.debian.org/InitrdReplacementOptions for status and
 comparison with other ramdisk tools.
