The author surveys methods to compute the \(K_1\) of the group ring of a finite group over a finite prime field. The emphasis is on the case where the prime field has two elements. The methods are illustrated on examples, like dihedral groups and the symmetric group on four letters. The answers are very explicit; they do not only give the group structure of \(K_1\), but also explicit units in the group ring corresponding to generators of \(K_1\).
