Alternatively, the SLS sysinstall program can be used.
To uninstall this binary distribution, do the following:

To install from source:
1) Get source from:
ftp.cs.unc.edu:/pub/faith/linux/utils/source/utilb-1.3.src.tar.Z
or from tsx-11:/pub/linux/sources
or from sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/utils/administration
2) Untar utilb-1.3.src.tar.Z in /usr/src
3) cd utilb-1.3
5) make
7) make install
Notes:
0) In general, these programs are ones that "belong" in /bin, although to
some degree this designation is arbitary. They come from a variety of
sources, as noted below. Please see the packages utile-1.4.src.tar.Z
(utile14.taz) and utila-1.5.src.tar.Z (utila15.taz) for utilities which
"belong" in /etc and /usr/bin, respectively.
1) Jim Winstead Jr. (jwinstea@fenris.claremont.edu) put together the
system-0.98.tar.Z package. The following are from that collection:
ed (by Brian Beattie, Kees Bot, and others; with
changes by W. Metzenthen) -- For utilb, this was edited to provide
larger constants (4096 characters per line, etc.) which are needed
by X11R5 for make depend.
more (BSD 5.19 6/28/88) by Eric Shienbrood, with
modifications by Geoff Peck and John Foderaro)
kill (by Peter MacDonald)
2) David Engel did ldd, version 1.1
3) Gordon Irlam (gordoni@cs.ua.oz.au) did setterm, which was adapted to
Linux by Peter MacDonald and enhanced by Mika Liljeberg
(liljeber@cs.Helsinki.FI).
4) Peter Orbaek (poe@daimi.aau.dk) also put together the poeigl-1.11.tar.Z
package. The following are from that collection:
hostname (by Peter Orbaek)
login (BSD 5.40 5/9/89) Ported to HP-UX by Michael Glad,
ported to Linux by Peter Orbaek)
5) Several utilities are from the BSD NET-2 (4.3bsd-reno) distribution:
wall (BSD 5.14 3/2/91)
write (BSD 4.22 6/1/90)
Original NET-2 source is currently available at
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/mirrors/4.3-reno/usr.bin. Minor changes were made
to these programs for Linux. These changes can be found by grep'ing for
"linux" in the source file.
6) I put together the most of the man pages, based on notes from the
authors and examination of the source code.
