MAILING LIST:
E-MAIL: util-linux-ng@vger.kernel.org
URL: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#util-linux-ng
NEUTRALITY:
The stuff in util-linux-ng should be rather distribution-neutral.
No RPMs/DEBs/... are provided - get yours from your distributor.
DEPRECATED:
The utils marked as deprecated will be removed in a future version of the
util-linux-ng. Please, prepare your distribution for this change.
* boot-time stuff
The stuff in login-utils defines initial boot-time stuff, things that
are done in different ways by different distributions. If you install
it, your machine may not boot anymore, or you may be unable to login.
