Hi All:
I am porting linux to mips r3000 now and need to build the following
files for the target board:
/sbin/swapon,
/bin/hostname,
/bin/mount,
/bin/grep.
Which usrland packages should I use for the above files?
Any help should be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Steven Liu

Go straight to http://busybox.lineo.com/ then search & join the mailing list.

In net-tools, here:

These are in util-linux, which can be found here:

This is a GNU utility, which can be found at any of the mirrors. A good
one for the U.S. west coast is here:
ftp://gatekeeper.research.compaq.com/pub/GNU/grep

In general, rpm -qf <program> on an rpm-based distro will often give you
a good idea as to what are the names of the source packages you want.
There's probably something similar for debian, but my debian-fu is weak.

A whole userland has been built with debian - You can get it on
the next debian mirror beeing found on www.debian.org.
One problem though might be that you need to fix "sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET)"
in the kernel to actually run the binarys (glibc 2.2).

It seems to be fixed to the point of working.
