+Bundle
+------
+
+A bundle is compressed squashfs filesystem, consisting of up-to-the-root
+directory structure. Old name for bundle is 'module'. Bundle format
+brings some new enhancements over the old modules.
+
+File extension for bundles may vary. Currently Slax uses .sb extension,
+where 'sb' means 'slax bundle'.
+
+
+How to create bundle:
+
+    # mksquashfs bundle_rootfs wholefs.sb -comp xz -bs 512k
+
+    or
+    # mksquashfs /usr /usr.sb --keep-as-directory -comp xz -bs 512k
+
+    or use function in linuxkitlib:
+    # . toos/linuxkitlib; make_bundle bundle_rootfs wholefs.sb
+
+
+Special files in bundle filesystem structure:
+
+
+    /run/requires
+    /run/onmount.sh
+    /run/onumount.sh
+    /run/startcmd.sh

+Live Kit
+--------
+
+* also known as Linux Live Kit. Formely known as Linux Live CD. Nowadays,
+people mostly use USB flash drives, cameras, and other devices to run
+such 'Live' linuxes, thus Live CD is no longer ideal name for it.
+
+Meaning of Kit is like a tool, toolkit, or such. Which (I believe) corresponds
+with the usage of such Live Linux distribution much better.
