A. Programs

To save space on floppy disk, the package "BusyBox" will be used amongst others. The program is a single executable which imitates the following standard Unix programs:

`basename, busybox, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, cp, cut, date, dd, df, dirname, expr, grep, gunzip, hostname, insmod, kill, killall, ln, ls, lsmod, mkdir, mount, mv, nslookup, ping, ps, reboot, rm, rmmod, sleep, sync, tar, tr, umount, zcat`

In most cases these are minimum implementations which do not offer the full functionality of the "originals". The implementations fullfil all needs of FLI4L.

BusyBox is licensed under GPL and is completely available as source in:

http://www.busybox.net/

I had to modify the BusyBox source in parts. You will find mor information about this in file src/README.

Additionally some programs from the SuSE 5.3 distribution have been replaced with smaller versions from tomsrtbt. These are:

    /usr/bin/ash
    /sbin/route

Many thanks to Christoph Peus, who gave the tip to me and also sent the programs as attachment :-)
