• fuse.ko updated to fuse-2.7.4

• Same thing with osd.bin (mounts over /osd)
• The “bin” directory in all app bin's are added to system-wide path
• The “lib” directory is added to ld.so.conf and ldconfig is executed
• This is all before running all the startup files:
• I now call /etc/init.d/rcS (modified)
• It will scan /etc/initd, as well as etc/init.d directories on all mounted app.bin files, sort them by number, and start them in order.
• Now prefers settings in net.config over settings in flash, including hostname (HOST=)
• Includes b-rad.cc's cd-manager-0.5 for automatic cd/dvd-rom support. Probably does NOT support copy protected discs!
