This is used to tailor BusyBox to your particular requirements. You will next learn about the requirements for cross-compiling the BusyBox package. Then we look at BusyBox operational issues, including how it is used in an embedded system. Next you will examine the BusyBox initialization sequence, and how this departs from more traditional Linux systems. You will also study a sample initialization script.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAfter reading the steps for installing BusyBox on a target system, you will learn about some of the BusyBox commands and their limitations. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis Short Cut is Chapter 11 from the book \u003ci\u003eEmbedded Linux Primer\u003c\/i\u003e by Christopher Hallinan (0-13-167984-8) available September 2007.
