util-linux-2.1.tar.gz (source distribution)
util-linux-2.1.bin.tar.gz (binary distribution)
WARNING: THIS COLLECTION DOES *NOT* SUPPORT SHADOW PASSWORDS.
WARNING: THIS COLLECTION DOES *NOT* SUPPORT SYSTEM V INITTAB.
WARNING: USE GNU TAR -- OTHER TARS WILL FAIL SILENTLY!
WARNING: DO *NOT* INSTALL WITHOUT THINKING.
WARNING: *READ* the util-linux-2.1.bin.Notes file *BEFORE* and *AFTER*
installation: there are a few links you must make by hand.
This is a collection of many assorted utilities for Linux. Some are
system utilities that are not easily available anywhere elsewhere
(e.g., mkfs.minix, mkswap); others are BSD ports of common utilities
that are not yet contained in any FSF package (e.g., col); others are
non-System-V alternatives to common utilities (e.g., simpleinit,
agetty, login, passwd).
The arrangement, as nearly as I can determine, conforms to the Linux
Filesystem Structure, Interim Release 1.1, October 9, 1994, with *NO*
exceptions. A copy of the standards document can be found at
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/docs/linux-standards/fsstnd/*.
Many people provided patches and suggestions. I deeply appreciate
this.
HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
readprofile
4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
