It provides replacements for most of the utilities you +usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. 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. BusyBox provides a fairly complete +environment for any small or embedded system.</p> + +<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 some device +nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p> + +<p>BusyBox is maintained by <a href="http://www.landley.net/">Rob Landley</a>, +and licensed under the <a href="/license.html">GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</a> +version 2 or later.</p> + +<!--#include file="footer.html" --> |
