+Bugs that need fixing:
 
- - mkfs.minix rev 1.7 completely broke the parser.  Fix it.
- - 'grep foo$ file' doesn't work
- - 'grep *foo file' segfaults
+ - 'ln -n' has been disabled for this release, till we can fix a memory
+    corruption bug.
+ - fix 'cp' (or test suite script) so that it passes the last item in
+    the test suite.
  - ps dirent race bug (need to stat the file before attempting chdir)
- - The following commands segfault or are broken:
-       date -u
-  - I believe that swaponoff may also be also broken (check it).
-  - It used to be that BusyBox tar would happily overwrite existing files on
-      an extraction.  However, as of 0.42, BusyBox tar simply dies as soon as an 
-      existing file is found.
- - Make 'mount -a' work even when /proc isn't mounted (ugly bug).
  - Make 'ln -s /tmp/file .' work the way GNU ln does (i.e. makes a link to 
     /tmp/file in the current directory, rather then trying and failing to create
     a symlink named "." in the current working directory).
- - implement 'ls -R'.
- - "math" should also take input from stdin
- - "more" doesn't accept " " to scroll by one page when BB_FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS
-    is not on.
+ - Prune sfdisk, graft in std fdisk instead
+
+
+We will rework these to use libc regex functions instead (as per the mailing
+list discussion):
+ - 'grep foo$ file' doesn't work
+ - 'grep *foo file' segfaults

+Linux 2.4.x kernels
+
+BusyBox 0.46 currently will not work with the Linux 2.4.x kernels.  
+I know of the following problems:
+
+1) BusyBox NFS support is broken with 2.4.x (needs to be adjusted for NFSv3 and
+    kernel header changes).
 
+As long as I have BB_FEATURE_NFSMOUNT turned off, everything compiles cleanly
+for me with linux2.4.0test2.  I use Debian potato (gcc 2.95.2, GNU libc 2.1.3).
+Of course, as noted above, compiling != working.
