[ANN] sabotage 2011-04-09, a musl+busybox based distribution

[Christian Neukirchen]

Hi,

this is the first public release of sabotage, a distribution based on
musl and busybox.  Provided software is:

9base-6 binutils-2.21 busybox-1.18.4 curl-7.21.4 e2fsprogs-1.41.14
gawk-3.1.8 git-1.7.4 gmp-5.0.1 linux-2.6.38.2 m4-1.4.16 make-3.82
mpc-0.9 mpfr-3.0.1 musl-2011-04-09 openssh-5.8p1 openssl-1.0.0d
perl-5.12.3 pkg-config-0.25 sed-4.2.1 syslinux-4.03 zlib-1.2.5

Everything is statically linked.

Kernel source is included in /src/linux, so you can rebuild the
kernel--the shipped kernel should work in most virtual machines.
(You need to include devtmpfs and have it automatically mounted.)

You can bootstrap your own build from the scripts at 

               https://github.com/chneukirchen/sabotage

or use a ready-to-boot disk image (186M, expands to 4GB sparse file,
~1GB filled) from

       http://xmw.de/mirror/sabotage/sabotage-2011-04-09.img.xz

This image can be booted for example with:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -curses -hda sabotage.img -net nic,model=e1000 -net user

Known issues:
- first run of getty on tty1 doesn't work, use a different vc.
- sshd won't let you log in, initgroups doesn't work yet.
- man is broken, use nroff directly.

Enjoy,
