      Framebuffer GUI for OpenSLX Preboot Environment
*****************************************************************
General Information:
  OpensLX: http://lab.openslx.org/projects/openslx
  fbgui:   http://lab.ks.uni-freiburg.de/projects/preboot/wiki

*****************************************************************
FAQ:

What is this for?
 Provides the user with an interactive graphical interface to 
 choose an OS which one he would like to boot.

What does this do excatly?
 fbgui was designed to provide a minimalistic browser that can be run directly on the framebuffer.
 (Note: The website content is crucial to the successfull execution of this program!)

How to build/use it?

  First compile the source code using:
	./build.sh

  To build the package first compile then use:
	./build.pkg.sh
  
  To integrate into a Preboot-Media, follow instructions on the wiki.

Debug console setup:
  Once log4cxx is installed, you need to copy the default fbgui.logging.conf
  to $HOME/.fbgui.logging.conf
  Without this step, neither the logging to file nor the debug console will work!

Dependancies:
 QT-Framework
 liblog4cxx10-dev 
 libsysfs-dev
 libusb-1.0-0-dev
 libnl-dev
 (sysfsutils?)
