Hello this is an enhanced version of initrd. The initrd was based from X-Slacko 4.2

Features:
* More user friendly than the original initrd.
* Resume from hibernation support. (automatic and manual)
* Improved puppy search logging.
* SFS mountpoint logging and multisession folder logging.
* More stable (if user attempts to exit the init console the computer reboots)

Known issue: if exec is performed on init-console it reboots.

NOTE: Edit the DISTRO_SPECS inside the initrd first before using it. (The default DISTRO_SPECS was set to X-Slacko Slim)

How about a diff from the original init script it is based on. I don't mind reading code, but have too many irons on the fire to reboot to test.

@technosaurus I took several tests on multisession mode but I fails to load the saved session from cd. I noticed that the root cause was it failed to detect the session saved from disc. I even not touching that portion of that original code for searching puppy files. Only some lines of code are added.

At last after days of struggling. I successfully find the culprit and fix the error in detecting multisession folder. I will try to update the download link pretty soon.
