13 Description: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems.
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
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!).

33 Description: 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
36 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
38 their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
39 provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
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.

53 Description: Tiny utilities for the debian-installer
54 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
55 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
56 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e. ls, cp, mv,
57 mount, tar, etc). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
58 their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
59 provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
62 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.
