 RUNNIX is a boot loader specifically for AstLinux, consisting of a very small Linux kernel, trimmed busybox and file utilities e2fsprogs and dosfstools.

 Alternatively, if ''shell'' or ''ssh'' was specified at the ''boot:'' prompt RUNNIX will not proceed to launch AstLinux but rather stop at a Linux shell prompt.  An experienced administrator can perform low level diagnostics, possibly fix a damaged partition, or even install the FAT16 partition to an internal flash drive.
