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

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

61 Description: Tiny utilities for the debian-installer
62 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
63 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
64 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv,
65 mount, tar, etc.). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
66 their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
67 provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
70 busybox-udeb is used by the debian-installer, so unless you are working
71 on the debian-installer, this package is not for you. Installing this
72 on your Debian system is a very, very bad idea. You have been warned.
