| Description: Tiny utilities for the debian-installer and for embedded systems. |
| BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single |
| small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common |
| utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e. ls, cp, mv, |
| mount, tar, etc). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than |
| their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included |
| provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU |
| counterparts. |
| . |
| BusyBox is used by the debian-installer. Installing BusyBox onto your Debian |
| system is not recommended, unless you are intended to make a very small |
| embedded system. Chances are good that for embedded systems, you will want to |
| recompile to only include the tools and utilities you wish to include. |

| BusyBox-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell |
| that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is |
| intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your |
| system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save |
| your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the |
| available builtin commands. |
