<h2><a name="getting_started">How can I get started using BusyBox?</a></h2>
<p>
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>

<li><b>16 August 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-rc3 released</b><p> <li><b>13 October 2004 -- BusyBox 1.00 released</b><p>
When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or
software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox.
With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and
who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices
is looking very bright.
Here goes release candidate 3...
<p> <p>
The <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all the details.
And as usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>. It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every
device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date.
The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived!
<p>
Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous
improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux
KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel),
Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development
work and testing of thousands of people from around the world.
<p>
If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device
or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is
right for your application. If you need help getting started using
BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug
and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a
href="FAQ.html">BusyBox FAQ</a>.

As usual you can <a href="downloads">download busybox here</a>.

<li><b>20 July 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-rc1 released</b><p>
Here goes release candidate 1... This fixes all (most?) of the problems
that have turned up since -pre10. In particular, loading and unloading of
kernel modules with 2.6.x kernels should be working much better.
<p>
I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no real
reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as
is. BusyBox is in good shape at the moment, and it works nicely for
everything that I'm doing with it. And from the reports I've been getting,
it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well.
There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with
it. No, BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while
there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work
is waiting till we can get a solid 1.0.0 release out the door....
<p>
Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at this
time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. If you have submitted a
bug-fixing patch 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 been lost or forgotten. That happens sometimes. Please re-submit your
bug-fixing patch to the BusyBox mailing list, and be sure to put "[PATCH]"
at the beginning of the email subject line!

On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away
yesterday (June 19th). The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about
2 hours south of my home. I've checked and there is absolutely no way I
could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a
href="http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/">OLS</a> and give my presentation
as scheduled.
<p>
As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come
to the conclusion I will have to make my appologies and skip OLS
this year.

week. Please do not bother to send in patches adding cool new features at
this time. Only bug-fix patches will be accepted. It would also be

and submit improvements. I've spent a lot of time updating the
documentation to make it better match reality, but I could really use some
assistance in checking that the features supported by the various applets
match the features listed in the documentation.

supported, or if you have an amazing new applet you would like to submit,
