Good things:

 - uClibc. we now use uClibc as libc for floppyfw. this has resultet in 
   a floppy now crammed with features in less space than the 2.0 series.

 - Features? full iproute2, with tc. full bridging with firewalling, 
             init and more.
 
 - initrd.gz is now minix. the image became way too big using cramfs.
   kernel became a little smaller with minix than ext2, same with the
   initrd.gz
 
 - / is now tmpfs which means no need for any extra ramdisks. 
 
 - floppyfw now uses devfs.
 
 - The hack for putting everything from busybox into /bin is
   removed. floppyfw now has the usual /bin/ /sbin/ /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
   structure as most of the other systems.
 
 - /bin/login which means you get a login prompt.


Bad things:

 - no password administration, need that for /bin/login

   This will most probably be an external issue for an installer.

 - math emulation may return as a part of the kernel if we want to.
   it'll make the kernel grow quite alot tho, aroung 30K

    it'll also grow uCibc quite a bit.
