Installation

Like the Linux kernel, BusyBox can be configured using make menuconfig. However, the following commands build a busybox executable suitable for use in a Live CD:

make defconfig &&
sed 's/# CONFIG_STATIC is not set/CONFIG_STATIC=y/' -i .config

Do not build with RPC support, because it has been removed from Glibc 2.14:

sed 's/CONFIG_FEATURE_HAVE_RPC=y/# CONFIG_FEATURE_HAVE_RPC is not set/' \
        -i .config
sed 's/CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS=y/# CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS is not set/' \
        -i .config
sed 's/CONFIG_FEATURE_INETD_RPC=y/# CONFIG_FEATURE_INETD_RPC is not set/' \
        -i .config

make

As the root user:

cp -v busybox /bin
