<h1> lh-bootstrap </h1>

<h2> What is it&nbsp;? </h2>

<p>
 <tt>lh-bootstrap</tt> is a set of scripts that build a disk image
for a virtual machine such as <a href="http://www.qemu.org/">QEMU</a>.
The image uses <a href="https://kernel.org/">Linux</a>,
<a href="http://musl-libc.org/">musl</a>,
<a href="http://busybox.net/">BusyBox</a>, and skarnet.org tools,
and similar small and efficient software. It provides the necessary
minimum amount of tools to securely connect to the Internet and
download more software while having a stable init system and service
infrastructure.
