Package description:

  anaconda:
  The tinysofa installation program.

  mkinitrd:
  Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd)
  images.  These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block
  device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem.
    
  swup:
  SWUP - SoftWare UPdater is an extension for existing software packaging
  systems to facilitate automatic and secure update and install. SWUP
  handles dependencies between software packages, and is able to fetch
  additional required software when installing or upgrading.

  tinysofa-gpgkeys-emily:
  This package contains the GPG keys used to sign packages and rdfs. It is used
  by swup to verify that the packages and rdfs found on the official tinysofa
  sites and mirrors are correct.

  Fixed permissions on /etc/modules.conf during installation. Fixed path to
  libncurses. This update fixes Bug #11
