youBoot is a simple bootloader for Pocket Computers

For now.. Its as simple as a recovery system.. it requests the "ramdisk" and installs it. Its useless right now, but I have soo many planned features(below!).



Planned Features:
- RamDisk Implementation(Confirmed for next version)
- If a OS is crashing.. the pocket computer will enter "Recovery Mode" like it is initially
- Signed ramdisk - prevents fake OS ramdisk.
- bootflags! - required for next features.
- Update mode(change current system binaries without messing user's current system)
- "Locked bootloader" - Blocking CTRL + T when booting and a "ramdisk" also encrypted

Current Features:
- When the device doesn't have the OS installed, it puts the device in a bootloop, waiting to get a ramdisk.
- Run "uploader" on an Advanced Computer. The computer must have the installer named "ramdisk".
- Ramdisks are up and running! PM me if you want to make a ramdisk to your OS.

Please, don't complain of being useless(Partially useless) right now, I am aware of that. Thats why im working to improve it!
