| Eric Andersen | b108a5b | 2000-06-19 09:21:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single |
| 15 | small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common |
| 16 | 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 |
| 18 | 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. |

| Eric Andersen | e2f6e12 | 2000-12-01 19:55:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | 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!). |

| 40 | BusyBox-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell |
| 41 | that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is |
| 42 | intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your |
| 43 | system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save |
| 44 | your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the |
| 45 | available builtin commands. |
