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> + +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> + +BusyBox is maintained by <a href= +"http://codepoet.org/andersen/erik/erik.html">Erik Andersen</a>, and +licensed under the +<a href= "http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</a> + +<p> +<p> + +<h3>Sponsors</h3> + +Please visit our sponsors and thank them for their +support!
