+If you find bugs, please submit a detailed bug report to the busybox mailing

-Validating and confirming bugs is nearly as important as reporting them in the

+ I am using Debian unstable, kernel version 2.4.19-rmk1 on an Netwinder,

-To see a listing of all the bugs currently filed against Busybox, look here:

+Note the careful description and use of examples showing not only what BusyBox
+does, but also a counter example showing what an equivalent GNU app does. Bug
+reports lacking such detail may never be fixed... Thanks for understanding.
-If you have comments to add to a bug (can / can't duplicate, think a bug
-should be closed / reopened), please send it to [bugnumber]@bugs.lineo.com.
