Features

- Always the latest Enigma (at time of release), freshly built from CVS.
- Update of my software over Enigma's "Update"-menu is supported to upgrade to
future releases.
- Added a directory "/var/bin/" to the path, where you can put in your own
executables.
- Added a directory "/var/lib/" to the library-path, where you can put in your own
shared libraries.Note that I put both "/var/bin/" and "/var/lib/" at the beginning of
their respective paths, so anything you place there, will usually override anything
already on the system, which is handy for testing mods.
- Modules are now loaded from "/var/modules/", if they exist there, like in most
images on the Dbox2, to make testing with different modules easier. Those who wish
even more control over the module loading-process can create their own
"/var/etc/init1", which will then get executed instead of the regular "/etc/init.d/init1".
- Removed smbd and nmbd, not only because I needed some space, but also because
the configuration in which they're shipped is a big security-risk ("/var/" and "/hdd/"
shared R/W, without any password), and this behaviour is not even changeable,
because the configuration is stored in the read-only "/etc/".What where the people at
Dream Multimedia thinking when they put this in?;-).Anyways, if you want the
functionality back, copy the smbd and nmbd included in the distribution into
"/var/bin/" on your box.Don't forget to chmod 755 them, too.I also symlinked
"smb.conf" into "/var/etc/", for your convenience.
