+ An easy method to build your own basic BusyBox based system, is to
+ follow these simple steps:
+ <ul>
+ <li> Point your web browser <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">here</a>
+ <li> Click on "Download tarball"
+ <li> Unpack the tarball on your Linux system somewhere
+ <li> run 'make' and configure things to taste.
+ <li> run 'unset CC'. Some Linux systems (i.e. Gentoo) set 'CC'
+ in the system environment which messes up cross compiles.
+ <li> run 'make'
+ <li> go have lunch, drink a pop, call a friend, play a video game, etc
+ till it finishes downloading software and compiling things.
+ <li> You should now have a shiny new BusyBox based system.
+ </ul>
