What is LACK?
LACK stands for Linux Appliance Construction Kit. LACK is a set of scripts written in Perl and Bash that will take an existing Linux installation, and build minimized "packages" that can then be used on "embedded-style" systems, i.e. systems that boot off of CD-ROM/USB/Network, and run completely in RAM.
