+<P>
+BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
+small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the
+utilities you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils,
+grep, gzip, tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment
+for any small or emdedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have
+fewer options then their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options
+that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much
+like their GNU counterparts.
+
+<P>
+BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in
+mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude
+commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize
+your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add a kernel, a
+shell (such as ash), and an editor (such as elvis-tiny or ae).
+
+<P>
+<HR>
+<H1><A NAME="USAGE">USAGE</A></H1>
+<P>
+When you create a link to BusyBox for the function you wish to use, when
+BusyBox is called using that link it will behave as if the command itself
+has been invoked.
+
+<P>
+For example, entering
+
+<P>
+<PRE> ln -s ./BusyBox ls
+ ./ls
+</PRE>
+<P>
+will cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls' (if the 'ls' command has been compiled
+into BusyBox).
+
+<P>
+You can also invoke BusyBox by issuing the command as an argument on the
+command line. For example, entering
+
+<P>
+<PRE> ./BusyBox ls
+</PRE>
+<P>
+will also cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls'.
+

+Most BusyBox commands support the <STRONG>--help</STRONG> option to provide a terse runtime description of their behavior.

+<P>
+Usage: init
+
+<P>
+Init is the parent of all processes.
+
+<P>
+This version of init is designed to be run only by the kernel.
+
+<P>
+BusyBox init doesn't support multiple runlevels. The runlevels field of the
+/etc/inittab file is completely ignored by BusyBox init. If you want
+runlevels, use sysvinit.
+
+<P>
+BusyBox init works just fine without an inittab. If no inittab is found, it
+has the following default behavior:
+
+<P>
+<PRE> ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
+ ::askfirst:/bin/sh
+</PRE>
+<P>
+if it detects that /dev/console is _not_ a serial console, it will also
+run:
+
+<P>
+<PRE> tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh
+</PRE>
+<P>
+If you choose to use an /etc/inittab file, the inittab entry format is as
+follows:
+
+<P>
+<PRE> <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<PRE> <id>:
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<PRE> WARNING: This field has a non-traditional meaning for BusyBox init!
+ The id field is used by BusyBox init to specify the controlling tty for
+ the specified process to run on. The contents of this field are
+ appended to "/dev/" and used as-is. There is no need for this field to
+ be unique, although if it isn't you may have strange results. If this
+ field is left blank, it is completely ignored. Also note that if
+ BusyBox detects that a serial console is in use, then all entries
+ containing non-empty id fields will _not_ be run. BusyBox init does
+ nothing with utmp. We don't need no stinkin' utmp.
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<PRE> <runlevels>:
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<PRE> The runlevels field is completely ignored.
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<PRE> <action>:
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<PRE> Valid actions include: sysinit, respawn, askfirst, wait,
+ once, and ctrlaltdel.
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<PRE> askfirst acts just like respawn, but before running the specified
+ process it displays the line "Please press Enter to activate this
+ console." and then waits for the user to press enter before starting
+ the specified process.
+</PRE>
+<P>
+<PRE> Unrecognised actions (like initdefault) will cause init to emit
+ an error message, and then go along with its business.

+GNU Libc uses the Name Service Switch (NSS) to configure the behavior of

+system data, such as passwords and group information. BusyBox has made it
+Policy that it will never use NSS, and will never use and libc calls that
+make use of NSS. This allows you to run an embedded system without the need
+for installing an /etc/nsswitch.conf file and without and /lib/libnss_*
+libraries installed.

+<P>
+If you are using a system that is using a remote LDAP server for
+authentication via GNU libc NSS, and you want to use BusyBox, then you will

+BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
+small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
+you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip,
+tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small
+or emdedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options then
+their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide
+the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.
+<p>
+BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
+It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
+features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded
+systems. To create a working system, just add a kernel, a shell (such as ash),
+and an editor (such as elvis-tiny or ae).
+<p>
+
+BusyBox is now maintained by
+<a href="http://www.xmission.com/~andersen/erik/erik.html">
+Erik Andersen</a>, and its ongoing development is being sponsored by
+<a href="http://www.lineo.com/">Lineo</a>.

+</pre>
+ it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff
+ from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something
+ while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad).

+ Karl M. Hegbloom has created a

+ Thanks Karl!
+
+
+ <p> <li> <b>18 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 released (finally!)</b>
+ <br>
+ I have finally gotten everything into a state where I feel pretty
+ good about things. This is definitely the most stable, solid release
+ so far. A lot of bugs have been fixed, and the following new apps
+ have been added: sh, basename, dirname, killall, uptime,
+ freeramdisk, tr, echo, test, and usleep. Tar has been completely
+ rewritten from scratch. Bss size has also been greatly reduced.
+ More details are available in the
+ <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a>.
+ Oh, and as a special bonus, I wrote some fairly comprehensive
+ <em>documentation</em>, complete with examples and full usage information.
+
+ <p>
+ Many thanks go out to the fine people that have helped by submitting patches
+ and bug reports; particularly instrumental in helping for this release were
+ Karl Hegbloom, Pavel Roskin, Friedrich Vedder, Emanuele Caratti,
+ Bob Tinsley, Nicolas Pitre, Avery Pennarun, Arne Bernin, John Beppu, and Jim Gleason.
+ There were others so if I somehow forgot to mention you, I'm very sorry.
+ <p>
+
+ You can grab BusyBox 0.43 tarballs <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/">here</a>.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>9 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 pre release</b>
+ <br>
+ Unfortunately, I have not yet finished all the things I want to
+ do for BusyBox 0.43, so I am posting this pre-release for people
+ to poke at. This contains my complete rewrite of tar, which now weighs in at
+ 5k (7k with all options turned on) and works for reading and writing
+ tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw
+ at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because
+ the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release
+ of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable
+ enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural
+ changes I still want to make.
+ <p>
+ The pre-release can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/">here</a>.
+ Please let me know ASAP if you find <em>any</em> bugs.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b>
+ <br>
+ I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7
+ lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City.
+ He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and
+ it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the
+ fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody
+ and thinking decidely unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife
+ (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying
+ down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now"
+ (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the
+ contrary).
+ <p>
+ Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting
+ labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfuly.
+ <p>
+ So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle...
+ Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect
+ to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will
+ include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a
+ re-write of tar (to accomodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now
+ accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking
+ problems.
+
+
+ <p> <li> <b>11 February 2000 -- BusyBox 0.42 released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ This is the most solid BusyBox release so far. Many, many
+ bugs have been fixed. See the
+<a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for details.
+
+ Of particular interest, init will now cleanly unmount
+ filesystems on reboot, cp and mv have been rewritten and
+ behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak
+ loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung,
+ Karl M. Hegbloom, Taketoshi Sano, and Pavel Roskin for
+ their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound
+ on it and let me know if you find any bugs.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>19 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.41 released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ This release includes bugfixes to cp, mv, logger, true, false,
+ mkdir, syslogd, and init. New apps include wc, hostid,
+ logname, tty, whoami, and yes. New features include loop device
+ support in mount and umount, and better TERM handling by init.
+ The changelog can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">here</a>.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>7 January 2000 -- BusyBox 0.40 released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ This release includes bugfixes to init (now includes inittab support),
+ syslogd, head, logger, du, grep, cp, mv, sed, dmesg, ls, kill, gunzip, and mknod.
+ New apps include sort, uniq, lsmod, rmmod, fbset, and loadacm.
+ In particular, this release fixes an important bug in tar which
+ in some cases produced serious security problems.
+ As always, the changelog can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">here</a>.

+ <p> <li> <b>11 December 1999 -- BusyBox Website</b>
+ <br>
+ I have received permission from Bruce Perens (the original author of BusyBox)
+ to set up this site as the new primary website for BusyBox. This website
+ will always contain pointers to the latest and greatest, and will also
+ contain the latest documentation on how to use BusyBox, what it can do,
+ what arguments its apps support, etc.
+
+ <p> <li> <b>10 December 1999 -- BusyBox 0.39 released</b>
+ <br>
+ This release includes fixes to init, reboot, halt, kill, and ls, and contains
+ the new apps ping, hostname, mkfifo, free, tail, du, tee, and head. A full
+ changelog can be found <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">here</a>.
+ <p> <li> <b>5 December 1999 -- BusyBox 0.38 released</b>
+ <br>
+ This release includes fixes to tar, cat, ls, dd, rm, umount, find, df,
+ and make install, and includes new apps syslogd/klogd and logger.

+ <li><a href="http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/base/ae.html">ae</a>
+ is a tiny full-screen text editor with both modal (vi-like) and modeless

+ <li><a href="http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/net/iproute.html">iproute</a>
+ Much more flexible replacement for ifconfig, route, etc. It is quite small, and for
+ most networking applications, it is all you need. It also provides support for extremely
+ advanced networking and provides Quality of Service(QoS) support, but most people will
+ just need to use the "ip" command and will not even need to install the rest.

+ <p>
+
+ <li><a href="http://www.pcug.org.au/~dbell/">sash</a>
+ The Stand Alone SHell. This is a small shell (not Bourne shell compatable)
+ that is similar to busybox in that it provides a number of common utilities as built-ins.
+ <p>
+
+ <li><a href="http://sourceware.cygnus.com/newlib/">NewLib</a>

+ GNU libc is a bit too big for your applications, try NewLib and it may help.
+ <p>
+
+ <li><a href="http://linuxassembly.org/asmutils.html">asmutils</a>
+ asmutils is similar to BusyBox in that it provides a number of common application
+ for embedded systems that are very tiny. In fact, they are a _lot_ smaller than the
+ equivalent apps in busybox -- but the price you pay for the size is reduced portability
+ (x86 only) and interfaces that are tied directly to a perticular kernel (no libc involved).
