     60    because it cannot install it setuid root as a non-privileged user. By 
     61    manually installing it with a different name, we can use it for running 
     62    tests in the final system as a non-privileged user and we keep a possibly

    75     <para>The test suite of Coreutils makes several assumptions about the 
    76     presence of system users and groups that are not valid within the minimal 
    77     environment that exists at the moment. Therefore, additional items need 
    78     to be set up before running the tests. Skip down to <quote>Install the
