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

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

56 Description: Tiny utilities for the debian-installer
57 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
58 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
59 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv,

61 their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included

65 busybox-udeb is used by the debian-installer, so unless you are working
66 on the debian-installer, this package is not for you. Installing this
67 on your Debian system is a very, very bad idea. You have been warned.
