## Installation

Install the busybox package.

Busybox commands are symbolic links to `/usr/bin/busybox` and thus take very little space. This is especially interesting for low-footprint systems.

## Usage

### init

Minirc provides an init script compatible to busybox-init. See init for details.

### mdev

See Gentoo wiki.
