util-linux-1.10.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-1.10.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); 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).

    This distribution is a superset of my previous distributions:
    util-etc*, util-bin*, and util-usrbin*.  There are no binaries in /etc.
    The arrangement, as nearly as I can determine, conforms to the Linux
    Filesystem Standard, with no exceptions.

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

    HIGHLIGHTS for version 1.10:
    1) domainname is no longer installed.  The source for domainname is still
       included in the source distribution, as is the hostname-1.5 package, by
       Peter Tobias ([email-masked]), which contains a new
       hostname and a dnsdomainname program.  If you have any questions read
       the documentation in hostname-1.5 and NetKit-A.
    2) Alan Modra ([email-masked]) updated syslogd and clock.
    3) Joe Ragland ([email-masked]) updated whereis.1
    4) Kai Petzke ([email-masked]) updated setserial.8
    5) Michael K. Johnson ([email-masked]) updated tunelp
    6) Carl Christofferson ([email-masked]) updated col
    7) [email-masked] updated rev
    8) Lots of updates to mount: without -t, (null) is no longer entered in
       mtab; readonly file systems are now remounted readonly if they weren't
       the first time; you can mount loop devices; umount will send RPC calls
       to the NFS server.
    9) agetty, login, hostid updated.

    HIGHLIGHTS for version 1.9:

    1) Miscellaneous bug fixes by Dave Gentzel ([email-masked]) and
       Sander van Malssen ([email-masked])
    2) tunelp has been added
    3) selection now allows the mouse pointer to wrap (this is off by default)
       (Thanks to Sander van Malssen ([email-masked]).)
    4) Many old versions have been removed, making the source distribution
       smaller.

    HIGHLIGHTS for version 1.8:

    1) bdflush is now installed as update (WARNING!).
    2) MAKEDEV was updated.  This version uses /proc/devices.
    3) Minor corrections (thanks to Dave Gentzel).
    4) Nigel Gamble's lpcntl is included.

    See the included util-linux-1.10.bin.Notes file for HIGHLIGHTS of
    previous versions.
