Eric Andersene2f6e122000-12-01 19:55:04 +000013Description: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems.
Eric Andersenb108a5b2000-06-19 09:21:34 +000014 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
15 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
Eric Andersen77d92682001-05-23 20:32:09 +000016 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv,
17 mount, tar, etc.). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
Eric Andersenb108a5b2000-06-19 09:21:34 +000018 their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
19 provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
20 counterparts.
21 .
Eric Andersene2f6e122000-12-01 19:55:04 +000022 This package installs the BusyBox binary but does not install symlinks
23 for any of the supported utilities. You can use /bin/busybox --install
24 to install BusyBox to the current directory (you do not want to do this
25 in / on your Debian system!).

33Description: Provides a stand alone rescue shell with tons of builtin utilities.
34 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
35 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
Eric Andersen77d92682001-05-23 20:32:09 +000036 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv,
37 mount, tar, etc.). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
Eric Andersenb108a5b2000-06-19 09:21:34 +000038 their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
39 provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
40 counterparts.
41 .
42 BusyBox-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell
43 that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is
44 intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your
45 system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save
46 your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the
47 available builtin commands.

Eric Andersene73fda82000-12-01 22:59:04 +000062 busybox-udeb is used by the debian-installer, so unless you are working
63 on the debian-installer, this package is not for you. Installing this
64 on your Debian system is a very, very bad idea. You have been warned.
