‎What is LBdistro?

@@ Line 2: / Line 2: @@
 LBdistro is an improvement on buildrom to let user customize what binaries will be at final ROM. The original name was [[biosdistro]] but Uwe suggest me change it to LBdistro.
-In the LBdistro the user can just select through menus what applications, kernel features and LinuxBIOS will be added to ROM. So the system will compile everything and the user  needs just write this firmware into BIOS flash memory.
