I had used Alexander's specs as a jumping off point for creating an
RPM-based distro after I realized that I wanted far better package
management than what I was doing with a bash tool I'd written. Anyway,
everything is here:

The bootstrapping method is basically exactly as Alexander has
described it. There are definitely bugs, but it seems to work mostly
well (if you're on an x86 and your hardware is exactly like mine :) I
hadn't actually been really running it, though, as I'd mostly been
repackaging from my old spec files.
