    WARNING: THIS COLLECTION DOES *NOT* SUPPORT SYSTEM V INITTAB.

    WARNING: MANY FILES HAVE CHANGED POSITION -- IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL,
             YOU AND YOUR SYSTEM WILL BE HOSED.

    WARNING: DO *NOT* INSTALL WITHOUT THINKING.

    WARNING: Read the util-linux-1.5.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); 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).

    Thanks, again, to Rick Sladkey for more patches.  Note the new mount
    package, which now supports the ability of normal users to mount file
    systems in a secure mannner.

    Many people provided patches and suggestions.  I deeply appreciate
    this.

    Man pages are provided for all of the programs.  The mount(8) man page
    has been extensively updated for util-linux-1.1, and includes more
    documentation on file-system specific options.

    Dr. Wettstein has provided a new mkfs.minix and fsck.minix that work
    with the file system validity flag that has appeared in recent 0.99.14
    ALPHA kernels.  THESE VERSIONS MAY NOT WORK WITH PLAIN 0.99.14!
