* swapon, swapoff - Combined into a single binary. No longer
uses /etc/swaps. swap{on|off} -a uses /etc/fstab instead.
* touch - Same functionality.
* date - adjusted with a patch from Matthew Grant <grantma@anathoth.gen.nz>
to accomodate glibc timezone support. I then ripped out GNU getopt.
* mkswap -- new version merged from util-linux. Can now make >128Meg swaps.
* Replaced the old and star, unstar, and tarcat with the tar
implementation from sash. Now tar behaves as god intended
it to (i.e. tar -xvf <file> and tar -cf <file> <dir> work).
* dd -- rewritten. Can with with files, stdin, stdout.
* Added the following new apps:
* loadfont -- added from debian boot floppies
* chroot -- added based on a patch from Paolo Molaro <lupus@lettere.unipd.it>
* grep -- I just wrote it. Only matches simple strings
* ps -- I just wrote it. Has _no_ options at all, but works.
* fsck_minix, mkfs_minix -- added from util-linux, but I ripped out
* ln - Same functionality. mkdir - Added -p flag to
* feature set. mv - rewrite. rm - Added -f flag to
* feature set. rmdir - Same functionality. swapon,
