-BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
-small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
-you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip,
-tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small
-or embedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
-their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide
-the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.
-<p>
-BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
-It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
-features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded
-systems. To create a working system, just add a kernel, a shell (such as ash),
-and an editor (such as elvis-tiny or ae).

- <p> <li> <b>21 June 2000 -- BusyBox 0.45 released</b>
- <br>
-
- This release has been slow in coming, but is very solid at this
- point. BusyBox now supports libc5 as well as GNU libc. This
- release provides the following new apps: cut, tr, insmod, ar,
- mktemp, ,setkeycodes md5sum, uuencode, uudecode, which , and
- telnet. There are bug fixes for just about every app as well (see
- the <a href="ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/Changelog">changelog</a> for
- details).
- <p>
- Also, some exciting infrastructure news! Busybox now has its own
- <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/lists/busybox/">mailing list</a>,
- publically browsable
- <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb/busybox/">CVS tree</a>,

- for those that are actively contributing there is even
- <a href="http://opensource.lineo.com/cvs_write.html">CVS write access</a>.
- I think this will be a huge help to the ongoing development of BusyBox.
- <p>
- Many thanks go out to the many people that have contributed to this release
- of BusyBox!

- This is a list of the all the available commands in BusyBox with complete
