| util-linux is a random collection of Linux utilities | |
| The stuff in the subdirectories mount, fdisk, disk-utils, text-utils, | |
| misc-utils, sys-utils, getopt-* should be rather distribution-neutral, | |
| and installing it does no harm. | |
| On the other hand, 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. | |
| No RPMs are provided - get yours from your distributor. |
