+BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
+small executable. 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.

-              <li><b>12 Sept 2003 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre3 released</b><p> 
+</ul>
 
-		Here goes the third pre-release for the new BusyBox stable
-		series.  The last prerelease has held up quite well under
-		testing, but a number of problems have turned up as the number
-		of people using it has increased.  Thanks everyone for all
-		the testing, bug reports, and patches!
+If you wish to be a sponsor, or if you have already contributed and would like
+your name added here, email <a href= "mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik</a>. 
 
-		<p>
-		
-		If you have submitted a patch or a bug report to the busybox
-		mailing list and no one has emailed you explaining why your
-		patch was rejected, it is safe to say that your patch has
-		somehow gotten lost or forgotten.  That happens sometimes.
-		Please re-submit your patch or bug report to the BusyBox
-		mailing list!
-
-		<p>
-
-		The point of the "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of
-		people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be
-		fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release.  The main feature
-		(besides additional testing) that is still still on the TODO
-		list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release is sorting out the
-		modutils issues.  For the new 2.6.x kernels, we already have
-		patches adding insmod and rmmod support and those need to be
-		integrated.  For 2.4.x kernels, for which busybox only supports
-		a limited number of architectures, we may want to invest a bit
-		more work before we cut 1.0.0.  Or we may just leave 2.4.x
-		module loading alone.
-
-		<p>
-
-		I had hoped this release would be out a month ago.  And of
-		course, it wasn't since Erik became busy getting a release of 
-		<a href="http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc</a> 
-		out the door.  Many thanks to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for
-		stepping in and helping get a bunch of patches merged!  I am
-		not even going to state a date for releasing BusyBox 1.0.0
-		-pre4 (or the final 1.0.0).  We're aiming for late September...
-		But if this release proves as to be exceptionally stable (or
-		exceptionally unstable!), the next release may be very soon
-		indeed.  
-
-		<p>
-
-		The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all 
-		the details.  And as usual you can 
-		<a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.
-
-		<p>Have Fun!
