Fix some comments from way back when toybox first started (in 2006), when I was still cleaning busybox-isms out of my head...

Toybox: all-in-one Linux command line. --- Building Toybox Type "make help" for build instructions. Mostly you want: CFLAGS="--static" CROSS_COMPILE=armv5l- make defconfig toybox install Or "make menuconfig", which produces the same sort of .config file as the Linux kernel. --- Using toybox The build produces a "swiss-army-knife" style multifunction binary, which acts differently depending on the name it was called as (cp, mv, cat...), and installs symlinks under each command name to populate $PATH. The "toybox" command itself uses its first argument as the command name to run (ala "toybox ls -l"). With no arguments, it lists available commands. (This allows you to use the commands even without the symlinks.) The "help" command provides information about each command (ala "help cat"). The toybox web page is at "http://landley.net/toybox". Have fun, Rob
