[Netkit.users] Migrate the filesystem to Ubuntu

Dear Olivier,
I confirm Saverio's suggestions, with the following clarifications:
* FUSE is already enabled as a kernel module in the kernel shipped
with Netkit.
If it fails to work, it may be because the kernel modules
directory is not properly mounted inside virtual machines. It
should be available inside /lib/modules/ and the script in charge
of mounting it is /etc/rcS.d/S19mount-modules-dir.
* Lots of cleanup need to be performed after installing a plain
Debian/Ubuntu image. Limiting the number of launched terminals is
one of them, and is achieved in the way Saverio has mentioned.
What seems strange to me is that all these adaptations (and there
are a number) should be automatically performed by the filesystem
Makefile, which suggests that something may be currently failing
(not surprising, since the Makefile was never meant to be robust
or compatible). The problem is that, if these adaptations failed
to be applied automatically, you would miss at the very least:
o customized scripts inside the virtual machines, causing core
functionalities (like using Netkit labs) to be unusable;
o configuration files and other compiled commands inside the
virtual machines, causing some services (like Zebra/Quagga)
to be unusable;
o a proper selection of startup-time services, resulting in
virtual machines starting at boot a bunch of daemons which
in most cases are useless;
o other stuff which makes further stuff unusable.
For further information about what may be missing in the Makefile run
(and, therefore, what you may want to carry on by hand), refer to the
README file inside the filesystem package.
P.S. A disinterested suggestion: before seriously entering the tricky
filesystem build journey, it may still be worth investigating further in
the failed Debian-to-Ubuntu upgrade... ;-)
Regards,
Massimo.
