Description: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems.
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common

provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
counterparts.

- BusyBox is used by the debian-installer. Installing BusyBox onto your Debian
- system is not recommended, unless you are intended to make a very small
- embedded system. Chances are good that for embedded systems, you will want to
- recompile to only include the tools and utilities you wish to include.
+ busybox-udeb is used by the debian-installer, so unless you are working
+ on the debian-installer, this package is not for you. Installing this
+ on your Debian system is a very, very bad idea. You have been warned.
