util-linux-2.8.tar.gz (source only distribution)
NOTE: Before installing util-linux. READ the README or risk nuking
your system. Thank you.
Util-linux is a suite of essential utilities for any Linux system.
It's primary audience is system integrators (like the people at Debian
and RedHat) and DIY Linux hackers. The rest of you will get a digested
version of util-linux installed with no risk to your sanity.
Util-linux is attempting to be portable, but the only platform it
has been tested much on is linux/intel. There have however been
integrated several patches for Arm, m68k, and Alpha linux versions.
The present version is known to compile on at least Linux 1.2/libc 4
and Linux 2.0/Libc 5 and has also been tested with libc 6 on intel,
alpha and sparc. People are encouraged to make _nice_ patches to
util-linux and submitting them to util-linux@math.uio.no. Thank you.
Util-Linux 2.8 is imediately available from
ftp.math.uio.no:/pub/linux, and
sunsite.uio.no:/pub/unix/linux/packages/util-linux,
and will appear at
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc, as well as
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/packages/utils
when the people in charge there get time.
