11. Sh-utils

The last package we need is GNU sh-utils. The only program we need from here at this stage is stty, which is used in /etc/init.d/rc which is used to change runlevels, and to enter the initial runlevel. I actually have, and used a package that contains only stty, but I can't remember where it came from. Its a better idea to use the GNU package, because there is other stuff in there that you will need if you add to the system to make it useable.

Well that's it. You should now have a system that will boot up and prompt you for a login. Type in ``root'', and you should get a shell. You won't be able to do much with it. There isn't even an ls command here for you to see your handiwork. Press tab twice so you can see the available commands. This was about the most satisfying thing I found to do with it.
