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!).
27 Package: busybox-static

31 Description: Provides a stand alone rescue shell with tons of builtin utilities.
32 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
33 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
34 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e. ls, cp, mv,
35 mount, tar, etc). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
36 their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
37 provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
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.

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